  • Patent number: 9799389
    Abstract: A method of operating a memory circuit (FIGS. 8A and 8B) is disclosed. The method includes writing true data (01) to a plurality of bits (B0, B1). A first data state (0) is written to a signal bit (Bi) indicating the true data. The true data is read and complementary data (10) is written to the plurality of bits. A second data state (1) is written to the signal bit indicating the complementary data.
