Abstract
In some examples, a memory device may be configured to store data in either an original or an inverted state based at least in part on a state associated with one or more shorted bit cells. For instance, the memory device may be configured to identify a shorted bit cell within a memory array and to store the data in the memory array, such that a state of the data bit stored in the shorted bit cell matches the state associated with the shorted bit cell.
Claims1
A memory device comprising:
- a memory array having a plurality of bit cells;
- a short detection component configured to identify at least one shorted bit cell of the plurality of bit cells of the memory array;
- and
- an inversion component configured to receive and invert a plurality of data bits to be stored in the memory array based at least in part a state of a data bit of the plurality of data bits to be stored in the at least one shorted bit cell.
