Abstract
A memory device includes at least one bitcell; read circuitry coupled to the at least one bitcell; and screening circuitry coupled to the read circuitry, wherein the screening circuitry includes a master slave flip-flop configured to store an output of the at least one bitcell during a read operation of the memory device, wherein the master slave flip-flop includes a master latch and a slave latch; and a DOUT window controller coupled to the master slave flip-flop and configured to generate and control a master clock signal for the master latch to determine if the at least one bitcell is a weak bitcell; and generate and control a slave clock signal for the slave latch to enable toggling of the output of the at least one bitcell during a transparent window between the master clock signal and the slave clock signal.
