Abstract

A circuit includes a first PMOS having a source coupled to a supply voltage and a gate coupled to a first bitline of a first memory cell; a second PMOS having a source coupled to the supply voltage and a gate coupled to a second bitline of a second memory cell; a first NMOS having a drain coupled to drains of the first and second PMOS transistors and a gate coupled to the first bitline; a second NMOS having a drain coupled to a source of the first NMOS and a gate coupled to the second bitline; a third PMOS precharging the first bitline to the supply voltage in response to a first precharge signal; and a fourth PMOS precharging the second bitline to the supply voltage in response to a second precharge signal. In response to the first and second precharge signals, the ground terminal is caused to float.
