    Abstract: A device includes several first switching units and several second switching units. Each of the first switching units transmits in response to a first select signal, an auxiliary signal. Each of the second switching units is coupled to a corresponding one of the first switching units and transmits in response to a second select signal, a write voltage to a corresponding one of multiple circuit cells. The second switching units are coupled with each other in a node which receives the write voltage.

    Abstract: A device includes memory cells, a reference circuit, and a sensing unit. The reference circuit includes a first reference switch, a second reference switch, and reference storage units. The first reference switch is turned on when a reference word line is activated. The second reference switch is turned on when the reference word line is activated. The reference storage units include a first reference storage unit and a second reference storage unit. The first reference storage unit generates a first signal having a first logic state when the first reference switch is turned on. The second reference storage unit generates a second signal having a second logic state when the second reference switch is turned on. The sensing unit determines a logic state of the bit data of one of the memory cells according to the first signal and the second signal.
