    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes integrated circuit includes a memory bank, a first group of word lines, a second group of word lines, an access circuit, a converter circuit and a decoder circuit. The first group of word lines is coupled to the memory bank. The second group of word lines is coupled to the memory bank, and arranged in order with the first group of word lines. The access circuit is configured to read the memory bank. The converter circuit is configured to control the access circuit at least based on a first control signal. The decoder circuit is configured to generate the first control signal at least according to a first bit and a second bit of an address signal. The first bit and the second bit indicates one group of the first group of word lines and the second group of word lines.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a first array of memory cells, a second array of memory cells, a first pair of complementary data lines, a second pair of complementary data lines, and a third pair of complementary data lines. The first pair of complementary data lines extend along the first array of memory cells, and are coupled to the first array of memory cells. The second pair of complementary data lines extend along the second array of memory cells, and are coupled to the first pair of complementary data lines. The third pair of complementary data lines extend along the second array of memory cells, and are coupled to the second array of memory cells. A number of rows of memory cells in the first array of memory cells is different from a number of rows of memory cells in the second array of memory cells.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes multiple memory cells, a first pair of complementary data lines, a second pair of complementary data lines, multiple first word lines, and multiple second word lines. The memory cells include a first array of memory cells and a second array of memory cells. The first pair of complementary data lines are coupled to the first array of memory cells. The second pair of complementary data lines are coupled to the second array of memory cells. Lengths of the first pair of complementary data lines are shorter than lengths of the second pair of complementary data lines. The first word lines and the second word lines are arranged according to a predetermined ratio of a number of the first word lines to a number of the second word lines. The predetermined ratio is less than 1.
