ABSTRACT:
A memory cell and method of destabilizing a memory cell for facilitating a write operation are provided. A stability switch is coupled between one of a voltage supply or a ground terminal and the memory cell, and is turned off during the write operation to reduce the drive voltage required to drive a bit value into the memory cell.
