Integrated circuits having memory cells with shared bit lines and shared source lines

Abstract

(58) Integrated circuits, memory arrays and methods for operat ing integrated circuit devices are provided. In an embodi ment, an integrated circuit includes a selected column of bit cells, wherein each bit cell in the selected column is coupled to a source line and coupled to a bit line. Further, the integrated circuit includes a first column of bit cells laterally adjacent the selected column, wherein each bit cell in the first column is coupled to the source line. Also, the inte grated circuit includes a second column of bit cells laterally adjacent the selected column, wherein each bit cell in the second column is coupled to the bit line.
