A disturb-free static random access memory cell includes: a latch circuit having a first access terminal and a second access terminal; a first switching circuit having a first bit transferring terminal coupled to the first access terminal, a first control terminal coupled to a first write word line, and a second bit transferring terminal; a second switching circuit having a third bit transferring terminal coupled to the second access terminal, a second control terminal coupled to a second write word line, and a fourth bit transferring terminal coupled to the second bit transferring terminal; a third switching circuit having a fifth bit transferring terminal coupled to the fourth bit transferring terminal, a third control terminal coupled to a word line, and a sixth bit transferring terminal coupled to a bit line; and a sensing amplifier coupled to the bit line, for determining a bit value appearing at the bit line.

Disturb-free static random access memory cell

A memory circuit includes a first memory array, a second memory array and a switch module, wherein the first memory array has a first node and a second node, the second memory array has a third node and a fourth node, the first node is coupled to a first supply voltage, and the fourth supply voltage is coupled to a second supply voltage smaller than the first supply voltage. The switch module is coupled to the second node, the third node, the first supply voltage and the second supply voltage. When the memory circuit is operated under an inactive mode, the switch module electrically connects the second node to the third node, electrically disconnects the second node from the second supply voltage, and electrically disconnects the third node from the first supply voltage.
