Abstract
A memory includes a plurality of memory blocks, a plurality of global bit lines, a common pre-charging circuit, and a selection circuit. Each memory block includes a pair of bit lines, and a plurality of memory cells coupled to the pair of bit lines. Each global bit line is coupled to at least one of the memory blocks. The pre-charging circuit is configured to pre-charge the global bit lines, one at a time, to a pre-charge voltage. The selection circuit is coupled between the pre-charging circuit and the global bit lines, and configured to couple the global bit lines, one at a time, to the pre-charging circuit.
