Abstract
A memory and a method for operating a memory are provided. The memory includes a memory cell configured to be powered from a first voltage source, a bitline, and a write driver configured to write to the memory cell through the bitline, the write driver comprising a pull-up circuit to pull up bitline voltage towards a second voltage source while using the first voltage source to limit the bitline voltage, the first and second voltage sources being in different voltage domains.
