The present invention provides a circuit and a method for providing
nondestructive write operations and optimized memory access operations
with reduced power consumption during memory access, such as during write
operations. In one embodiment, a memory device comprises a memory cell
configured to store a first data bit. The memory device also comprises a
write access circuit coupled to the memory cell for providing a write data
bit having a write data bit magnitude. The write access circuit is
configured to adjust the write data bit magnitude to an intermediate logic
state magnitude in a memory operation.
