    摘要: The present disclosure describes an example circuit for selecting a voltage supply. The circuit includes a first control switch, a first voltage supply switch, a second control switch, and a second voltage supply switch. The first control switch is configured to receive a control signal and a first voltage supply. The first voltage supply switch is electrically coupled to the first control switch and is configured to receive a second voltage supply. The second voltage supply switch is electrically coupled to the second control switch and configured to receive the first voltage supply. The first and second voltage supply switches are configured to selectively output the first and second voltage supplies based on the control signal.

    摘要: A device includes a diode circuit. The diode circuit is coupled between a first input/output (I/O) pin and a second I/O pin of a circuit, and is configured to be turned off. The diode circuit is configured to provide a first discharging path for the first I/O pin of the circuit and a second discharging path for the second I/O pin of the circuit. The diode circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor is between a node and the first I/O pin. The second transistor is between the node and the second I/O pin. The node is configured to receive a first voltage, and control terminals of the first transistor and the second transistor are configured to receive a second voltage. A voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is configured to turn off the first transistor and the second transistor.

    摘要: A device disclosed includes first and second rows of memory cells, a first data line, and a first continuous data line. The first and second rows of memory cells are arranged in a first sub-bank and a second sub-bank, separated from the first sub-bank, respectively. The first data line is arranged across the first sub-bank and coupled to a first memory cell in the first row of memory cells. The first continuous data line includes a first portion arranged across the first sub-bank and a second portion arranged across the second sub-bank. The first continuous data line is coupled to a second memory cell in the second row of memory cells. The first portion of the first continuous data line is disposed in a first metal layer. The first data line and the second portion of the first continuous data line are in a second metal layer.
