    Abstract: Disclosed are various apparatuses and methods for a memory with a multiple word line design. A memory timing circuit may include a dummy word line including a first portion and a second portion and further including capacitative loading that is lumped in the second portion of the dummy word line, a first transistor connected to the first portion of the dummy word line and configured to charge the dummy word line, and a second transistor connected to the second portion of the dummy word line and configured to discharge the dummy word line. A method may include charging a dummy word line using a first transistor, and discharging the dummy word line using a second transistor, wherein the dummy word line includes a first portion and a second portion and further includes capacitative loading that is lumped in the second portion of the dummy word line.

    Abstract: A memory circuit is provided comprising a plurality of bit cells coupled to a bit line that permits accessing information from each of the plurality of bit cells. A sense inverter is coupled to an output of the bit line. A keeper circuit has an output coupled to the bit line to compensate for current leakage from the plurality of bit cells. The keeper circuit may comprise an n-channel metal-oxide-silicon (NMOS) transistor in series with a p-channel metal-oxide-silicon (PMOS) transistor.
