Abstract
A circuit includes a first data line, a second data line, a first pulling device, a second pulling device, a third pulling device, and a fourth pulling device. The first pulling device is configured to be activated or deactivated responsive to a first control signal; and is configured to pull a first signal at the first data line toward a voltage level of a first voltage based on a second signal at the second data line when the first pulling device is activated. The second pulling device is configured to be activated or deactivated responsive to a second control signal; and is configured to pull the second signal at the second data line toward the voltage level of the first voltage based on the first signal at the first data line when the second pulling device is activated.
