Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit having a wordline driver coupled to a bitcell via a wordline. The wordline driver may include multiple transistors. The integrated circuit may include a read assist transistor coupled to the wordline between the wordline driver and the bitcell. Gates of the read assist transistor and at least one transistor of the multiple transistors may be coupled together. While activated, the read assist transistor may provide a read assist signal to the wordline when the wordline is selected and driven by the wordline driver.
