Abstract

A memory includes a plurality of bit cells. Each bit cell includes a bit line and a storage cell coupled to the bit line. A header PMOS transistor is coupled to the storage cell in each bit cell. The header PMOS transistor is at least partially turned off during a write operation by a header control signal.
