Abstract

A method comprises writing data to one or more static random access memory (SRAM) cells. Writing data to the one or more SRAM cells comprises applying a first data signal to at least one bit line electrically connected to the one or more SRAM memory cells, electrically disconnecting at least one of a first power supply terminal and a second power supply terminal of each of the one or more SRAM cells from a power supply and applying a word line signal to a word line electrically connected to the one or more SRAM cells. Thereafter, the at least one of the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal of each of the one or more SRAM cells is electrically connected to the power source.
