Abstract
A method of writing data bits to a memory array. In one method embodiment, a first input is received. This causes an application of high power, via a sense line, to an addressed bit in the memory array and causes a write operation to be applied to the addressed bit. A second input is received. This causes an application of low power, via said sense line, to the addressed bit and causes a read operation on the addressed bit. The sense line is used to read and write the addressed bit.
Claims16
A method for writing a data bit to a memory array, said method comprising:
- receiving a first input causing an application of high power, via a sense line, to an addressed bit in said memory array and causing a write operation on said addressed bit, and
- receiving a second input causing an application of low power, via said sense line, to said addressed bit and causing a read operation on said addressed bit, such that said sense line is used to read and write said addressed bit.
A system for writing a data bit to a memory array, said method comprising:
- means for receiving a first input causing an application of high power to an addressed bit in said memory array, via a sense line, and causing a write operation on said addressed bit, and
- means for receiving a second input causing an application of low power to said addressed bit, via said sense line, and causing a read operation on said addressed bit, such that said sense line is used to read and write said addressed bit.
