Abstract:
Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having memory with an array of bitcells arranged in columns and rows, wherein a first number of columns represents a first number of output bits, and a second number of columns represents a second number of output bits. The device may include dummy wordline (DWL) circuitry having multiple DWL paths including a first DWL path disposed along the first number of columns and a second DWL path disposed along the second number of columns. The first DWL path has a shorter length than the second DWL path so as to allow for faster operation of the bitcells in the memory associated with the first number of output bits.
