Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit with memory circuitry having an array of bitcells that are accessible via multiple bitlines. The integrated circuit may include a write driver coupled to at least one bitline of the multiple bitlines through a column multiplexer. The integrated circuit may include a pass transistor coupled to the write driver and the column multiplexer via a write data line. The integrated circuit may include a charge storage device coupled between the pass transistor and write assist enable circuitry. The integrated circuit may include a transmission gate coupled to a gate of the write driver. The integrated circuit may include a clamp transistor coupled between the gate of write driver and the charge storage device such that the clamp transistor receives a voltage assist signal from the charge storage device at the gate of the write driver.
