Abstract
A memory includes a row decoder, column logic, and a memory array having a plurality of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. A plurality of write word lines are coupled to the row decoder. A plurality of complementary write word lines is coupled to the row decoder. A plurality of read bit lines is coupled to the column logic. A plurality of write bit lines is coupled to the column logic. A plurality of column decoded write enable lines is coupled to the column logic. Each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells is coupled to a corresponding write control circuit. Each write control circuit comprises a transmission gate coupled between a column decoded write enable line and an access transistor of a memory cell. The transmission gate is controlled by a write word line signal.
