Abstract:
A memory that includes multiple banks, each of which include multiple data storage cells, is disclosed. A decoder circuit may be configured to receive and decode information indicative of an address, and select a particular bank based on the decoded information. A first latch circuit coupled to a particular global bit line, which is, in turn, coupled to the particular bank, may generate multiple local clock signals using the decoded information and store data based on a voltage level of the particular global bit line using the plurality of local clock signals. Other circuits may also pre-charge the particular global bit line using a particular local clock signal of the plurality of local clock signals.
