ABSTRACT:
A circuit that may be used as a memory cell that may be capable of a differential write and a single ended read. The circuit generally comprises a memory storage element having a write bitline, a complement write bitline and a read bitline. One or more first gates may be configured to pass data on the write bitline and the inverted write bitline during a write operation. The write operation may occur in response to a write control signal. A second gate may be configured to pass data on from the storage element to the read bitline in response to read control signal. As a result, the circuit may be written by both the write bitline and the complement write bitline and may be read by the read bitline.
