ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a ROM circuit (40) including columns of storage cells, each column being connected to a bit site (BLi, BLi+1), wherein the columns are arranged in groups of two adjacent columns, each column of a group capable of being selectively activated relative to the other column of the group, thereby enabling the elimination of a connection to the ground of columns and the design of efficient reading amplifiers.
