Abstract
In an embodiment, a memory system comprises a memory array having memory cells. A decoder is coupled to the memory array and configured to decode input address signals to generate memory cell selection signals. An encoder is configured to generate encoded selection signals based on the memory cell selection signals. In another embodiment, a method comprises: receiving by the decoder of the memory system input address signals, generating, by the decoder, selection signals for selecting a memory cell in the memory array, and generating, by an encoder, encoded selection signals based on the selection signals.
