    Abstract: A memory device having an array of memory cells connected to a core voltage level, and access circuitry used to perform a write operation in order to write data into a plurality of addressed memory cells. At least one bit line associated with at least each column in the array containing an addressed memory cell is precharged to the peripheral voltage level prior to the write operation being performed. Word line driver circuitry is then configured to assert a word line signal at the core voltage level on the word line associated with the row of the array containing the addressed memory cells. Write multiplexing driver circuitry asserts a mux control signal to write multiplexing circuitry which then couples the bit line of each addressed memory cell to the write driver circuitry in dependence on the mux control signal identifying which column contains the addressed memory cells.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein refer to a method for providing single port memory with a bitcell array arranged in columns and rows. The method may include coupling a wordline to the single port memory including coupling the wordline to the columns of the bitcell array. The method may include performing multiple memory access operations concurrently in the single port memory including performing a read operation in one column of the bitcell array using the wordline while performing a write operation in another column of the bitcell array using the wordline, or performing a write operation in one column of the bitcell array using the wordline while performing a read operation in another column of the bitcell array using the same wordline.
