    Abstract: Various implementations described herein refer to an integrated circuit having a bitcell coupled to a bitline and a column multiplexer device coupled to the bitline between the bitcell and an output of a write driver. The integrated circuit may include a first signal line coupled to a gate of the column multiplexor device that provides a first transition signal. The integrated circuit may include a second signal line coupled to an input of the write driver that provides a second transitioning signal, and the second transition signal transitions substantially similar to the first transitioning signal. The integrated circuit may include a coupling device coupled between the first signal line and the second signal line.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein refer to an integrated circuit having memory circuitry having multiple banks of bitcell arrays including a first pair of bank arrays and a second pair of bank arrays. The first pair of bank arrays may have a first number of rows, and the second pair of bank arrays have a second number of rows that is different than the first number of rows. The integrated circuit may include bank multiplexer circuitry that is coupled to the first pair of bank arrays via a first channel and the second pair of bank arrays via a second channel that is separate from the first channel. The bank multiplexer circuitry may provide an output data signal from the first pair of bank arrays or the second pair of bank arrays based on a control signal.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein may refer to an integrated circuit using discharging circuitries for bit lines. In one implementation, an integrated circuit may include a memory array having memory cells, where the memory cells are arranged into columns and configured to be accessed using bit line pairs. The integrated circuit may also include discharging circuitries to selectively discharge the bit line pairs, where a respective discharging circuitry is coupled to a negative supply voltage node of a respective column of memory cells. The respective discharging circuitry may discharge a bit line pair of the respective column to a first voltage when the bit line pair is selected for a memory operation, and may discharge the bit line pair of the respective column to a second voltage when the bit line pair is not selected for a memory operation, where the second voltage is greater than the first voltage.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include dummy wordline circuitry having a dummy wordline driver coupled to multiple dummy wordline loads via a dummy wordline. The integrated circuit may include demultiplexer circuitry coupled to a first path of the dummy wordline between the dummy wordline driver and the multiple dummy wordline loads. The integrated circuit may include multiplexer circuitry coupled to a second path of the dummy wordline between the multiple dummy wordline loads and a dummy bitline load. The demultiplexer circuitry and the multiplexer circuitry may be controlled with one or more selection signals to select at least one of the multiple dummy wordline loads.
