摘要:
A method for sensing the contents of a memory cell within a static random access memory (SRAM) includes holding a bit line associated with the memory cell at a zero voltage potential when the memory cell is not being accessed; energizing the bit line to a first voltage potential different than the zero voltage potential during an access of the memory cell; and sensing the memory cell contents when the associated bit line has reached the first voltage potential.
