Abstract:
A memory device, the memory device having a plurality of memory cells, each of the memory cells being periodically refreshed to retain a data bit stored in the memory cell, an external clock being applied to the memory device for operation, a first operation clock and a second operation clock being generated by the external clock, the first operation clock being 180-degree phase shift to the second operation clock, the memory device comprising:a first word line and a second word line, the first operation clock being applied to the first word line, the second operation clock being applied to the second word line; a first bit line and a second bit line; a first transistor and a second transistor, wherein the first transistor is controlled by the first word line and the second transistor is controlled by the second word line; and a storing unit, for storing the data bit, the storing unit being connected to the first bit line through the first transistor, the first transistor allowing the storing unit being connected to the first bit line in accordance with a logic status of the first operation clock, the storing unit being connected to the second bit line through the second transistor, the second transistor allowing the storing unit being connected to the second bit line in accordance with a logic status of the second operation clock.
