Abstract
A system for storing data in a memory may include circuitry that may receive an address, a command and data. The circuitry may also determine a type of the command and generate a read control or write control signal dependent upon the type. The system may also include a plurality of sub-arrays and sense amplifiers. Each of the sub-arrays may include a plurality of memory cells. Each of the sense amplifiers may be coupled to a respective one of the plurality of sub-arrays and may read data stored in a first memory cell included in the respective sub-array. The system may also include one or more write driver circuits. A first write driver circuit may be coupled to at least two of the plurality of sub-arrays. The first write driver circuit may be configured to store data into a second memory cell in one of the at least two sub-arrays.
