Abstract
A global to local bit line interface circuit for domino static random access memory (SRAM) devices includes a pair of complementary global write bit lines in selective communication with an array of SRAM cells through corresponding local write bit lines, the complementary global write bit lines configured to write a selected SRAM cell with write data presented on a pair of complementary write data input lines; a pair of complementary global read bit lines in selective communication with the array of SRAM cells through corresponding local read bit lines, the complementary global read bit lines configured to read data stored in a selected SRAM cell and present the read data on a pair of complementary read data output lines; and write-around logic configured to directly couple the write data presented on the complementary global write bit lines to read data output circuitry associated with the complementary global read bit lines.
