A memory circuit including: a first column of memory cells, each memory cell of the first column including a first supply segment; a first supply voltage line in a first conductive layer, the first supply voltage line being made of at least the first supply segments of the first column; a second supply voltage line; a first resistive device electrically connecting the first and second supply voltage lines, and being located in a via layer; a first material, from which the first resistive device is formed, being different than a second material from which a first type of via plug in the via layer is formed; and a supply voltage source electrically coupled with first supply voltage line through one or more conductive paths, and the second supply voltage line and the first resistive device being in a lowest resistance path of the one or more conductive paths.
