Abstract

A method and arrangement is provided for selecting and discharging a pair of bit lines of a plurality of charged pairs of bit lines of a memory circuit having cells of the merged transistor logic type. A selected pair of bit lines is discharged through a selected cell coupled to the selected pair of bit lines while simultaneously the remaining or non-selected pairs of bit lines are discharged through a common switch into non-selected word lines.
