Abstract
An integrated circuit having first connections, a first memory cell, first and second prechargers, and first and second data transmission devices. The first connections have a dual-rail signal applied thereto. The first memory cell is connected to the first connections and buffer-stores the dual-rail signal applied to the first connections. The first precharger precharges first lines, which are connected to the first connections. The first data transmission device, which forwards the dual-rail signal stored in the first memory cell to second connections, which are connected to a second memory cell which transmits the dual-rail signal to the first connections again using the second data transmission device. The second precharger precharges second lines, which are connected to the second connections.
