Patent ID: 7099203

Claim:
A circuit for writing a binary value to a memory cell, comprising: a first field-effect transistor having a first drain, a first source, and a first gate operably coupled between the first drain and the first source, the first drain being operably coupled to a first memory cell, the first gate configured to receive a first data signal; a second field-effect transistor having a second drain, a second source, and a second gate operably coupled between the second drain and the second source, the second drain being operably coupled to the first memory cell, the second gate configured to receive a second data signal; and a first signal inverter having a first input terminal and a first output terminal, the first output terminal being operably coupled to both of the first and second sources, the first signal inverter being configured to output a first control signal on the first output terminal when the first input terminal receives a second control signal, wherein when the first control signal has a second logic level and the first data signal has a first logic level and the second data signal has the second logic level, the first and second field-effect transistors induce the first memory cell to store a first binary value.
