In accordance with one embodiment, a method for accessing a memory is provided, including carrying out a first access to the memory and charging, for a memory cell, a bit line coupled to the memory cell to a value which is stored or to be stored in the memory cell, holding the state of the bit line until a second access, which follows the first access, and outputting the held state if the second access is a read access to the memory cell.

Method for accessing a memory and memory access circuit

According to various embodiments, a circuit arrangement is described that has a plurality of components requiring a supply. Each component requiring a supply is set up to output a signal that indicates a subsequent power requirement of the component requiring a supply. The circuit arrangement further has a control device that is set up to take the signals as a basis for ascertaining a value that represents a subsequent power requirement of the plurality of components requiring a supply, to ascertain whether the value satisfies a prescribed criterion, and to control the operation of the components requiring a supply on the basis of whether the value satisfies the prescribed criterion.
