Abstract
A memory includes memory cells having two select transistors per cell. Each of the two select transistors are coupled to two different word lines with each word line being controlled by a separate addressable word line driver circuit. In some embodiments, providing two different word lines from two different word line drivers may provide for a memory where the word lines can apply different voltages based on the memory operation being performed.
