Abstract

In a random access memory a write driver develops a full rail write signal which is coupled to the selected bit line pair via transmission gates. The bit lines are thus driven to full rail. This results in a faster rise time on the bit line which is driven to a logic high. With the faster rise time, the selected cell is written into more quickly with the result of a faster write time for the memory.
