Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having memory circuitry with bitlines coupled to an array of bitcells. The device may include precharge circuitry that precharges the bitlines during modes of operation including a standby mode of operation and an active mode of operation. In some instances, the precharge circuitry may include a low power mode of operation that prevents precharge of the bitlines during the standby mode of operation.
