Abstract

A semiconductor memory having at least one memory cell adapted to store a data value, and adapted to be connected to a data line through a switch device controlled by a control signal. The invention also relates to a tri-state driver device for driving the control signal. Further, there is a method for operating a memory, in which the memory has a memory cell adapted to store a data value, and adapted to be connected to a data line through a switch device controlled by a control signal.
