Abstract
A processor including a cache memory, a decoder, a precharge circuit, a control module, and an amplifier module. The decoder generates a first word line signal to access first instructions stored in a first word line, and (ii) generates a second word line signal to access second instructions stored in the first word line or a second word line. The precharge circuit (i) precharges first bit lines connected to the first word line prior to accessing each of the first and second instructions. The control module adjusts a rate of a clock signal from a first rate to a second rate. The amplifier module accesses the first instructions based on (i) the first word line signal and (ii) the clock signal at the first rate, and accesses the second instructions based on (i) the second word line signal and (ii) the clock signal at the second rate.
