Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus is a register array including first and second flip-flop latch arrays. The first flip-flop latch array includes a first set of master latches, a first set of slave latches coupled to the first set of master latches, and a first address port. The second flip-flop latch array includes a second set of master latches, a second set of slave latches coupled to the second set of master latches, and a second address port. The register array includes an address counter, coupled to the first flip-flop latch array and the second flip-flop latch array. The address counter is shared by the first flip-flop latch array and the second flip-flop latch array and configured to address, in parallel in a test mode, the first flip-flop latch array through the first address port and the second flip-flop latch array through the second address port.

Abstract: A multiport bitcell apparatus includes a plurality of word lines for enabling writing and reading operations. The word lines include a first set of word lines extending across the bitcell on a first metal layer. The word lines further include a second set of word lines extending across the bitcell on a second metal layer. The word lines further include a third set of word lines extending across the bitcell on both the first metal layer and the second metal layer. The third set of word lines may include a first word line that extends on a first metal track and a second metal track, and a second word line that extends on the second metal track and a third metal track. The first metal layer may be an M2 layer and the second metal layer may be an M3 layer.
