Abstract:
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include precharge circuitry for precharging bitlines to a source voltage level. The integrated circuit may include write assist circuitry having a charge storage element for providing a write assist signal to at least one of the bitlines. The integrated circuit may include read assist circuitry having a switching element for providing charge sharing between the bitlines, the precharge circuitry, and the charge storage element of the write assist circuitry.
