Abstract
Data paths are provided to a memory array. The data paths include switches for selectively aligning the data paths to different multiplexors for reading or writing to the memory array. Read data lines are steered to selected sense amplifiers based on the decode address, using the switches. Write data lines are steered to selected write drivers based on the decode address, using the switches.
