Dummy Bitline Circuitry

An integrated circuit, comprising:

• first dummy bitline circuitry having a charge storage element and multiple dummy bitline loads;
• second dummy bitline circuitry having dummy wordline driver circuitry;
• and
• decoupling circuitry coupled between the first dummy bitline circuitry and the second dummy bitline circuitry,
• wherein the decoupling circuitry operates to decouple the charge storage element from the second dummy bitline circuitry based on an enable signal.

A method for manufacturing an integrated circuit, the method comprising:

• fabricating first dummy bitline circuitry having a first charge storage element;
• fabricating second dummy bitline circuitry coupled to the first dummy bitline circuitry, wherein the second dummy bitline circuitry has a second charge storage element;
• and
• fabricating decoupling circuitry coupled to the first dummy bitline circuitry and the second dummy bitline circuitry between the first charge storage element and the second charge storage element,
• wherein the decoupling circuitry operates to decouple the second charge storage element from the first charge storage element based on one or more enable signals.
