1. A circuit comprising:
a plurality of arrays having first and second sets of address lines and connections between the first and second sets of address lines; and
a plurality of driving devices for the plurality of arrays, the driving devices having third and fourth sets of address lines and connections between the third and fourth sets of address lines,
wherein the second set of address lines is connected with the fourth set of address lines,
wherein the driving devices have a first condition in which they act as decoders for the arrays, and a second condition in which they act as signal restoring devices for the arrays, and wherein the driving devices comprise nanoscale driving devices.
