MEMORY CELLS HAVING A ROW-BASED READ AND/OR WRITE SUPPORT CIRCUITRY

摘要

A circuit comprises a plurality of memory cells in a row, at least one write word line, and a write support circuit coupled to the at least one write word line and to the plurality of memory cells in the row. The write support circuit includes a first current path and at least one second current path. A current path of the at least one second current path corresponds to a respective write word line of the at least one write word line. A write word line of the at least one write word line is configured to select the first current path when the plurality of memory cells in the row operates in a first mode, and to select a second current path of the at least one second current path when the plurality of memory cells in the row operates in a second mode.
