A register file contains a local bit trace and a driving signal trace as well as a plurality of data cells coupled to the local bit trace. A device is coupled to the driving signal trace and the local bit trace to intelligently charge and float the local bit trace. The intelligent charging and floating is facilitated by determination of a selection of one of the data cells.
