A first terminal of the gated diode is electrically connected to the trench electrode, and at least a second terminal is electrically connected to the active region. The gated diode is operative in one of at least a first mode and a second mode as a function of a voltage potential applied between the first and second terminals. The first mode is characterized by the creation of an inversion layer in the semiconductor layer substantially surrounding the trench electrode. The gated diode has a first capacitance in the first mode and a second capacitance in the second mode, the first capacitance being substantially greater than the second capacitance.

    摘要: A memory cell for use in a memory array includes a storage element for storing a logical state of the memory cell, a write circuit and a read circuit. The write circuit is operative to selectively connect a first node of the storage element to at least a first write bit line in the memory array in response to a write signal for selectively writing the logical state of the memory cell. The read circuit includes a substantially high impedance input node connected to the storage element and an output node connectable to a read bit line of the memory array. The read circuit is configured to generate an output signal at the output node which is representative of the logical state of the storage element in response to a read signal applied to the read circuit. The memory cell is configured such that the write circuit is disabled during a read operation of the memory cell so as to substantially isolate the storage element from the first write bit line during the read operation. A strength of at least one transistor device in the storage element is separately optimized relative to a strength of at least one transistor device in the write circuit and/or the read circuit.

    摘要: A method for increasing performance in a limited switch dynamic logic (LSDL) circuit includes precharging a dynamic node during a precharge phase of a first and second evaluation clock signal. The dynamic node is evaluated to a first logic value in response to one or more first input signals of a first evaluation tree during an evaluation phase of the first evaluation clock signal. The dynamic node is evaluated to a second logic value in response one or more second input signals of a second evaluation tree during an evaluation phase of the second evaluation clock signal. A signal of the LSDL circuit is outputted in response to the dynamic node according to an output latch clock signal.
