Abstract
A memory device with multiplexers for multiplexing write and read operations to bit lines is provided. In one aspect, a write-read circuit includes a multiplexer for multiplexing the write and read operations. The multiplexer includes a plurality of select devices, each select device being associated with one of a plurality of bit lines, and each select device including a first transistor and a second transistor. The write-read circuit further includes a controller configured to, for a write operation using a particular bit line, control the multiplexer to turn on both transistors of the first select device associated with the particular bit line, and for a read operation using the particular bit line, control the multiplexer to turn on the first transistor and turn off the second transistor of the first select device associated with the particular bit line.
