Abstract
A compact integrated circuit with memory arrays, shared select transistors and distributed drivers of XDEC is disclosed. The shared select transistors are used to access two adjacent memory cell areas so that the overhead resulting from the conventional select areas can be reduced. The drivers of XDEC are distributed to both sides of the memory arrays to drive the memory cell areas so that conventional transfer areas can be reduced.
