Abstract
Approaches for stability of cells in a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) array are provided. A circuit includes a precharging circuit configured to precharge bitlines of a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) array to a first voltage potential for a non-read operation and to a second voltage potential for a read operation. The first voltage potential is different than the second voltage potential.
