Abstract

A circuit for implementing memory arrays using a global bitline domino read/write scheme. The memory circuit includes a plurality of cells each configured to store a bit of data. The memory circuit further includes a plurality of local bitlines, wherein each cells is coupled to one of the local bitlines. Each of the plurality of local bitlines is a differential bitline having a signal path and a complementary signal path which are cross-coupled by a pair of transistors.
