Abstract

An integrated circuit includes a memory array. The memory array includes a plurality of bitlines. The bitlines are each coupled to a respective local I/O circuit. All of the local I/O circuits are coupled to a global I/O circuit. Each local I/O circuit includes a first sensing stage for reading data from the memory cell. The global I/O circuit includes a second sensing stage for reading data from the memory cell.
