ABSTRACT:
In a first aspect, a first method is provided for accessing memory. The first method includes the steps of (1) storing a bit in a cell included in a memory having a plurality of cells arranged into rows and columns, wherein each cell includes a group of transistors adapted to both store the bit and affect a signal asserted during a read operation on a bit line coupled to the cell such that the affected signal matches a value of the bit stored in the cell; and (2) preventing the value of the bit stored in the cell from changing state while the group of transistors affects the signal asserted during the read operation on the bit line coupled to the cell. Numerous other aspects are provided.
