Abstract
Devices and circuits for wiring configurations of a bus system and power supply wires in a memory chip with improved power efficiencies. The effective resistance on the power supply wires may be reduced by utilizing non-active bus wires as additional power wires connected in parallel with the other supply wires. The non-active bus wires may reduce or prevent parasitic couplings and cross-talk effects between neighboring sensitive wires, thereby improving performance of the chip.
