Abstract
A memory circuit includes a first driver circuit, a memory cell array including a first column of memory cells, a first transistor coupled between the first driver circuit and the memory cell array, a second driver circuit, a first column of tracking cells and a header circuit coupled to the first driver circuit and the second driver circuit. The first transistor is configured to receive a first select signal. The first column of tracking cells is configured to track a leakage current of the first column of memory cells, and is coupled between a first conductive line and a second conductive line, the first conductive line being coupled to the second driver circuit.
