Abstract
Circuits and methods are disclosed for voltage-mode bit line precharge for random-access memory cells. A circuit includes an array of random access memory cells; a low-impedance voltage source configured to provide a precharge voltage; and a control circuit configured to precharge a bit line of one of the random access memory cells to the precharge voltage using the low-impedance voltage source prior to reading the one of the random access memory cells.
