Zusammenfassung: | A memory circuit includes: memory cells each including a storage transistor having a first configuration; and a tracking circuit including: a tracking bit line having first and second intermediary nodes; a tracking word line; a first finger circuit (coupled between the first intermediary node and a reference voltage node) including: a first set of first tracking cells, each including a first shadow transistor having the first configuration; and a second finger circuit (coupled between the second intermediary node and the reference voltage node) including: a second set of second tracking cells, each including a second shadow transistor having the first configuration; gate terminals of the first and second shadow transistors being coupled with the tracking word line; and a switch configured to selectively couple the first intermediary node with the second intermediary node and thereby selectively couple the first and second finger circuits in parallel. |
