摘要: A power detection circuit is provided. The power detection circuit includes a comparator circuit operative to generate an output signal in response to an input signal. The output signal is configured to change from a first value to a second value in response to the input signal attaining a first threshold value. The output signal is configured to change from the second value to the first value in response to the input signal subsequently attaining a second threshold value. A current limiting circuit is connected to the comparator circuit and operative to limit a leakage current of the comparator circuit.

摘要: A write assist circuit is provided. The write assist circuit includes a transistor switch coupled between a bit line voltage node of a cell array and a ground node. An invertor is operative to receive a boost signal responsive to a write enable signal. An output of the invertor is coupled to a gate of the transistor switch. The write assist circuit further includes a capacitor having a first end coupled to the bit line voltage node and a second end coupled to the gate node. The capacitor is operative to drive a bit line voltage of the bit line voltage node to a negative value from the ground voltage in response to the boost signal.

摘要: A circuit includes a memory cell column coupled to a bit line pair and a write circuit that alternately biases a first end of the bit lines toward power supply and reference voltage levels in a write operation. Each of first and second switching circuits at second ends of the bit lines includes first and second logic circuits, each including an input terminal coupled to a corresponding bit line, and first and second switching devices, each including a gate coupled to the corresponding logic circuit. The first logic circuit and switching device couple the corresponding bit line to a power supply node simultaneously with the write circuit biasing the corresponding bit line toward the power supply voltage level, and the second logic circuit and switching device couple the corresponding bit line to a reference node simultaneously with the write circuit biasing the corresponding bit line toward the reference voltage level.
