    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit having core circuitry with an array of memory cells arranged in columns. The integrated circuit may include write assist circuitry having a column selector that accesses the memory cells via a bitline coupled to each of the columns. The write assist circuitry may include a first node that couples the column selector to a discharge circuit and a feedback circuit. The write assist circuitry may include a second node that couples a trigger circuit to the discharge circuit and the feedback circuit. The trigger circuit enables the discharge circuit, discharges the second node, and is disabled after discharging the second node. The discharge circuit discharges the first node, and the feedback circuit tracks the first node and disables the discharge circuit.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein may be directed to retention voltages for integrated circuits. In one implementation, an integrated circuit may include functional circuitry to store data bits, and may also include retention mode circuitry coupled to the functional circuitry to provide retention voltages to the functional circuitry, where the retention mode circuitry may include a first circuitry to provide a first retention voltage to the functional circuitry. The first circuitry may include a first diode device, and may include a first transistor device, a second diode device, or combinations thereof. The retention mode circuitry may also include a second circuitry to provide a second retention voltage to the functional circuitry, where the second circuitry includes second transistor devices. Further, the functional circuitry may be held in a data retention mode when the first retention voltage or the second retention voltage is provided to the functional circuitry.
