Abstract
A memory circuit may comprise a memory array, a first tracking cell, a second tracking cell, a first tracking circuit, and a second tracking circuit. A first portion of the memory array may comprise a plurality of first nominal memory cells coupled to a first bit line segment extending along a first lateral direction. A second portion of the memory array may comprise a plurality of second nominal memory cells coupled to a second bit line segment and a third bit line segment both extending along the first lateral direction. The first tracking circuit can be configured to activate the first tracking cell, in response to at least one of the first nominal memory cells being selected. The second tracking circuit can be configured to activate the second tracking cell, in response to at least one of the second nominal memory cells being selected.
