Abstract:
A memory array contains a plurality of banks coupled to each other by a plurality of data lines. Each of the data lines is divided into a plurality of segments within the array. Respective bidirectional buffers couple read data from one of the segments to another in a first direction, and to couple write data from one of the segments to another in a second direction that is opposite the first direction. The data lines may be local data read/write lines that couple different banks of memory cells to each other and to respective data terminals, digit lines that couple memory cells in a respective column to respective sense amplifiers, word lines that activate memory cells in a respective row, or some other signal line within the array. The memory array also includes precharge circuits for precharging the segments of respective data lines to a precharge voltage.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus comprising:\n a first data line segment; a second data line segment; a precharge circuit configured to be activated in a precharge mode to precharge each of the first and second data line segments; and a buffer circuit comprising a first transistor coupled to the first data line segment, a second transistor coupled to the first data line segment, a third transistor coupled to the second data line segment and a fourth transistor coupled to the second data line segment; wherein the buffer circuit is configured to be activated in an operation mode to transfer a first data signal from the first data line segment to the second data line segment by enabling the first transistor and enabling the fourth transistor via the enabled first transistor and to transfer a second data signal from the second data line segment to the first data line segment by enabling the third transistor and enabling the second transistor via the enabled third transistor.
