Abstract
The invention provides a memory circuit. In one embodiment, the memory circuit comprises a first PMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor, and a memory cell array. The first PMOS transistor is coupled between a first voltage terminal and a first node. The second PMOS transistor is coupled between the first voltage terminal and a second node. The first NMOS transistor is coupled between a third node and a second voltage terminal. The second NMOS transistor is coupled between a fourth node and the second voltage terminal. The memory cell array comprises a plurality of memory cells, at least one comprising a first inverter and a second inverter. A positive power terminal of the first inverter is coupled to the first node, a negative power terminal of the first inverter is coupled to the third node, a positive power terminal of the second inverter is coupled to the second node, and a negative power terminal of the second inverter is coupled to the fourth node.
