Abstract
An improved memory cell for minimizing space consumption and cost of production. A two-rail data bus line configuration is shared for the dual purpose of reading and writing binary information or for powering the memory cell. The memory cell is rendered in a dynamic condition for reading or writing binary information via the data bus lines. At all other times, the memory cell is rendered in a static or holding condition during which time the data nodes of the cell are connected to a source of reference potential and the memory cell is powered.
