1. A device for storing information including an array of memory cells, said device comprising:

  • bitlines and wordlines for addressing the memory cells, said bitlines being subdivided into sectioned bitlines for sections of wordlines;

    a plurality of global bitlines; and

    a connector connecting sectioned bitlines to a global bitline, said connector being bidirectional and using the high order part of the wordline addresses for a section of bitlines as a disable reset command such that the reset stays active for unselected portions of the array thereby compensating leakage of a mass of unselected memory cells which could disturb valid read signals.
