Abstract

The present application discloses a memory circuit having a first data line configured to carry a first data line signal and a second data line configured to carry a second data line signal. Further, a first driver is coupled to the first data line and the second data line and configured to establish a first current path for the first data line responsive to the second data line signal. Similarly, a second driver is coupled to the first data line and the second data line and configured to establish a second current path for the second data line responsive to the first data line signal. The memory circuit further has a first driver enabling line configured to selectively enable the first driver and a second driver enabling line configured to selectively enable the second driver.
