Abstract
A row driver is configured to activate a row line responsive to a signal having one of multiple possible values. A column driver is configured to activate a column line responsive to a signal having one of multiple possible values. The row and column drivers comprise sets of sense amps and decoders. One of a plurality of lines is operably connected to and input/output line responsive to the active row line and column line. The use of sense amps in the row and column drivers enables this flow control circuit to operate with low power consumption and allows the flow control circuit to act as a register.
