  • Patent number: 11664086
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having memory architecture with an array of memory cells arranged in multiple columns with redundancy including first columns of memory cells disposed in a first region along with second columns of memory cells and redundancy columns of memory cells disposed in a second region that is laterally opposite the first region. The device may have column shifting logic that is configured to receive data from the multiple columns, shift the data from the first columns in the first region to a first set of the redundancy columns in the second region, and shift data from the second columns in the second region to a second set of the redundancy columns in the second region.

  • Patent number: 10878892
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein may refer to an integrated circuit using discharging circuitries for bit lines. In one implementation, an integrated circuit may include a memory array having memory cells, where the memory cells are arranged into columns and configured to be accessed using bit line pairs. The integrated circuit may also include discharging circuitries to selectively discharge the bit line pairs, where a respective discharging circuitry is coupled to a negative supply voltage node of a respective column of memory cells. The respective discharging circuitry may discharge a bit line pair of the respective column to a first voltage when the bit line pair is selected for a memory operation, and may discharge the bit line pair of the respective column to a second voltage when the bit line pair is not selected for a memory operation, where the second voltage is greater than the first voltage.
