Abstract:
A SRAM that keeps the memory cell array under a low voltage in the Standby mode and Write mode, and raises the memory cell array supply voltage to a high voltage in the Read mode. A SRAM comprising: at least one memory cell circuit, comprising a latch circuit with at least two inverters, and comprising two power receiving terminals for receiving power; and a power supplying circuit, for providing the power to the memory cell circuit, such that the voltages at the power receiving terminals of the latch circuit is below a predetermined voltage level when data is written to the latch circuit. In one embodiment, the memory cell circuit includes a plurality of data accessing terminals and the data accessing terminals are respectively controlled by at least two pass-transistor switch devices.
