Abstract

An FRAM device can comprise a sense amplifier, at least a first bitcell, a first control line, and a second control line. The first bitcell can have a bit line that connects to the sense amplifier via a first isolator and a complimentary bit line that connects to the sense amplifier via a second isolator that is different from the first isolator. The first control line can connect to and control the aforementioned first isolator. And the second control line can connect to and control the second isolator such that the second isolator is independently controlled with respect to the first isolator to facilitate testing the device.
