Abstract
A self-locking load structure for Random Access Memories is disclosed. The load structure remains coupled to the memory cell during read operations but automatically decouples from the memory during write operations. No separate decoded WRITE command must be sent to the load structure to couple and decouple the structure from the memory cell.
