Abstract

A computer system including a control logic and a storage coupled to the control logic. The storage includes a plurality of bitcells and bitlines used to transfer data between the control logic and the bitcells. The control logic provides an address of a target bitcell to the storage. Within a single clock cycle, the storage uses the address to activate the target bitcell, to precharge bitlines coupled to the target bitcell, and to access the target bitcell.
