Abstract:
A memory circuit includes a pre-charging unit configured to charge a metal bit line during a pre-charging period, a sensing unit configured to sense a status of a memory cell coupled to the metal bit line during the pre-charging period, and a sink circuit configured to provide a sink current during the pre-charging period based on the status of the memory cell sensed by the sensing unit.
