Abstract

A method of transferring data to a memory storage cell that is attached to a first bitline. The method includes passing a charge representative of data from a memory storage cell to a first bitline that is connected to the memory storage cell and detecting that the charge is on the first bitline. Upon detecting the charge is on the first bitline, preventing a portion of a second bitline that is complementary to the first bitline from being driven to a full voltage state.
