Abstract
A memory cell includes six transistors. The first and second P-type transistors have the sources coupled to a first voltage. The first and second N-type transistors have the drains coupled to drains of the first and second P-type transistors, respectively; the sources coupled to a second voltage; and the gates coupled to gates of the first and second P-type transistors, respectively. The third N-type transistor has the drain coupled to a write word line; the source coupled to drain of the first N-type transistor and gate of the second N-type transistor; and the gate coupled to a first write bit line. The fourth N-type transistor has the drain coupled to the write word line; the source coupled to drain of the second N-type transistor and gate of the first N-type transistor; and the gate coupled to a second write bit line. A memory cell array is also provided.
