Abstract
A memory cell is formed by storage latch having a true node and a complement node. The cell includes a write port operable in response to a write signal on a write word line to write data from write bit lines into the latch, and a separate read port operable in response to a read signal on a read word line to read data from the latch to a read bit line. The circuitry of the memory cell is configured to address voltage bounce at the complement node during reading of the memory (where the voltage bounce arises from a simultaneous write to another memory cell in a same row).
