    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit having first devices arranged to operate as a latch. The first devices may include inner devices and outer devices. The integrated circuit may include second devices coupled to the first devices and arranged to operate as a level shifter. The second devices may include upper devices and lower devices. The lower devices may be cross-coupled to gates of the inner devices and the upper devices. The integrated circuit may include input signals applied to gates of the outer devices and the lower devices to thereby generate output signals from the outputs of the lower devices that are applied to the gates of the inner devices and the upper devices to activate latching of the output signals.

    Abstract: A memory device includes an array of memory cells arranged as a plurality of rows and columns, each row being coupled to an associated read word line, and each column forming at least one column group, where the memory cells of each column group are coupled to an associated read bit line. Each column group includes circuitry to precharge the associated read bit line to a first voltage level prior to the read operation. Each memory cell has coupling circuitry connected between the associated read bit line and a second voltage level different to the first voltage level. During read operation the coupling circuitry associated with the activated memory cell selectively discharges the associated read bit line towards the second voltage level dependent on the data value stored within that activated memory cell. The clamping circuitry connects the associated read bit line to the second voltage level.

    Abstract: Various implementations described herein refer to a device having an address bus that provides multi-port addresses from multiple ports including a first address from a first port and a second address from a second port. The device may have column contention-detection circuitry that receives the multi-port addresses from the address bus, compares the first address from the first port with the second address from the second port and provides a contention adjustment signal based on the comparison between the first address and the second address. The device may have bitline collision circuitry that receives the contention adjustment signal, senses wire-to-wire variation related to bitline coupling effects and provides a bitline collision signal based on sensing the bitline coupling effects.

    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.
