    Abstract: The present invention provides a pseudo dual-port memory. The pseudo dual-port memory includes a single-port memory, a multiplexer, a timing control circuit and an output circuit. The multiplexer is configured to sequentially output a first address and a second address to the single-port memory. The output circuit is configured to receive output data from the single-port memory to generate a first reading result corresponding to the first address and a second reading result corresponding to the second address. The output circuit includes a first sense amplifier and a second sense amplifier, wherein the first sense amplifier receives the output data to generate first data serving as the first reading result according to a first control signal, and the second sense amplifier receives the output data to generate second data serving as the second reading result according to a second control signal.

    Abstract: A data line control circuit has a data line driving circuit and a write-assist data line driving circuit. The data line driving circuit is used to drive differential data lines during a write operation of at least one memory cell. The write-assist data line driving circuit is used to drive at least one write-assist data line during the write operation of the at least one memory cell, wherein the at least one write-assist data line is isolated from the differential data lines, and is driven to have a first voltage transition from a first voltage level to a second voltage level, such that one of the differential data lines has a second voltage transition from a third voltage level to a fourth voltage level that is induced by the first voltage transition via capacitive coupling.

    Abstract: A sense amplifier for reading a via Read-Only Memory (Via-ROM) is provided. The sense amplifier includes a read circuit, an adaptive keeper circuit and a leakage monitor circuit. The read circuit is connected to the via-ROM. The adaptive keeper circuit is connected to the read circuit. The leakage monitor circuit is connected to the adaptive keeper circuit for forming a current mirror, such that the adaptive keeper circuit compensates a read voltage of a memory cell whose via is opened when a bit-line leakage is happened.
