Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor substrate and integrated circuitry on the semiconductor substrate. The integrated circuitry includes a memory array including a plurality of memory macros including at least first and second memory macros. Each of the plurality of memory macros includes multiple partial arrays and a shared macro controller configured to control read and write access to the multiple partial arrays. The memory array also includes spare access control logic configured to direct an access to a first partial array in the first memory macro to a second partial array in the second memory macro.
