Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a device and method for accurately estimating a write self-time of a memory array. The write self-time is estimated by performing a simulated write operation on a write self-time bit cell having the same structure and arrangement as each of the bit cells of the memory array. The write operations on the bit cells of the memory array are stopped in response to detecting completion of the simulated write operation.
