Abstract
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.
