Abstract
A static random access memory (SRAM) or other bit-storing cell arrangement includes memory cells and a hierarchical bitline structure including local bitlines for subsets of the memory banks and a global bitline spanning the subsets. A keeper circuit for the global bitline is replaced by bias circuitry on output transistors of the memory cells.
