Abstract
A memory includes a word line, a bit line and a complementary bit line. A memory cell has a data node coupled to the bit line and a complementary data node coupled to the complementary bit line. The word line controls access to the memory cell. A circuit is coupled to the bit line and the complementary bit line. The circuit is configured to pull up to a high voltage, pull down to a low voltage, or float the bit line and the complementary bit line based on a first timing of pre-charging and a second timing of write driving. The first timing and the second timing are synchronized.
