Q#1 Memory GATE EC 2018 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

A ROM array is built with the help of diodes as shown in the circuit below. Here WO and W1 are signals that select the word lines and BO and B1 are signals that are output of the sense amps based on the stored data corresponding to the bit lines during the read operation.  

Bits stored in the ROM Array
