Abstract
A read module for register files includes at least one local I/O module coupled to a memory cell for outputting a value stored in the memory cell; and at least one global bit line driver having an input terminal coupled to the local I/O module, and a output terminal coupled to a global bit line for selectively pre-charging the global bit line at a default voltage in response to a local pre-charge signal, and outputting the value stored in the memory cell to the global bit line when the local pre-charge signal is not asserted.
