Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) storage circuit includes two or more tiers of semiconductor dies, and a storage array of bitcells distributed on the two or more tiers to form a plurality of storage subarrays. One of the storage subarrays is arranged on a respective one of the tiers. Row and column replica/dummy tracking cells are arranged on each of the tiers. A timing circuit is coupled to the tracking cells of each of the tiers. In response to receipt of tier-specific trim bits for each of the tiers, the timing circuit independently controls a timing and/or voltage state of each of the tiers during an access operation of the 3D storage circuit to account for process and/or thermal variation between tiers of the 3D storage circuit.
