A memory circuit includes a plurality of first memory cells. The plurality of first memory cells are operatively coupled to a first bit line. The memory circuit further includes a first pre-charge circuit connected to a first end of the first bit line and configured to charge the first bit line to a supply voltage during a first time period prior to any of the first memory cells being accessed. The memory circuit further includes a second pre-charge circuit connected to a second end of the first bit line and also configured to charge the first bit line to the supply voltage during the first time period. The second pre-charge circuit is only activated during a second time period at a beginning of the first time period, while the first pre-charge circuit is activated during a whole of the first time period.
