Abstract:
The disclosure relates to an apparatus for reading data from a memory circuit that includes at least two memory banks. The apparatus includes a first multiplexer configured to generate data at a first output from a first selected one of a first set of bit lines of a first memory bank based on a select signal. The apparatus also includes a second multiplexer configured to generate data at a second output from a second selected one of a second set of bit lines of a second memory bank based on the select signal. Additionally, the apparatus includes a gating device configured to gate the data from either the first and second multiplexer outputs based on an enable signal. And, the apparatus includes an interface circuit configured to produce the gated data on a global bit line.
