Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for accessing memory arrays which are formed in a back end of line (BEOL) of an integrated circuit (IC) die. In an embodiment, a differential sense amplifier of the IC die is coupled to a first array and a second array via a first bit line and a second bit line, respectively. The first bit line and the second bit line extend from a first level of BEOL memory arrays, toward a front end of line (FEOL) of the IC die, on opposite respective sides of first array, wherein the differential sense amplifier is in a footprint region for the first memory array. In another embodiment, a word line driver circuit comprises a two stage charger-discharger circuit which mitigates hot carrier injection.
