ABSTRACT:
A memory and a method for communicating therewith are implemented, the memory having a plurality of memory cell groups. Each memory cell group contains a plurality of memory cells. Memory cell groups within each subset of a plurality of subsets of memory cell groups include the same predetermined number of memory cells. During a read operation, a local bitline associated with the memory cell group from which data is being read is coupled to a global bitline. Other local bitlines, associated with the memory cell groups not being accessed during the read are decoupled from the global bitlines. Following a read, the local and global bitlines are restored by a precharge operation.
