Abstract:
A static random access memory (SRAM) features reduced write cycle power consumption. The SRAM includes an array of static storage cells and a write controller. The array of static storage cells is accessible via a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines, and is arranged to access multiple bits via each of the word lines. The write controller controls writing to the static storage cells. The write controller is configured to perform consecutive writes to a plurality of addresses associated with a same one of the word lines, and to, in conjunction with the consecutive writes, perform fewer precharges of the bit lines than consecutive writes.
