Abstract
Provided are apparatus and methods for compensating fabrication process variation of on-chip component(s) in shared memory bank. The method includes tracking a flip voltage level and tracking a discharge leakage current to disconnect a keeper circuit from the local read bit-line. The method includes controlling a read current and the discharge leakage current based on determining at least one of fast transistor and slow transistor associated with the at least one the keeper circuit and a bit-cell.
