Abstract
A cache memory organized into banks of subarrays includes repeaters for connecting to the data provided by the subarrays to a global data bus. The repeaters comprise a logic gate providing either a NAND or NOR function coupled in series with an inverter. The logic gate has a first input connected to receive a first logic value of a bus line, and a second input coupled to receive data output from a subarray. The inverter drives the first logic value onto the bus line when the cache bank subarray is inactive, and drives the data value from the subarray onto the bus line when the cache bank subarray is activate.
