摘要: Leakage current from non-selected memory cells is substantially eliminated by placing a negative voltage on the selection line of the non-selected cells. This negative voltage on the gate of the access transistors in the cells reduces the leakage current that would otherwise leak onto a shared sense line if the selection line were biased at 0 volts. In one embodiment the pre-charge voltage on the affected sense line is reduced so that the difference between the pre-charge voltage and the negative voltage does not exceed the design voltage of the transistors in the memory cells.

摘要: A power management device and static random access memory (SRAM) architecture with dynamic supply voltages reduce active power leakage in SRAM cells. When a cell is inactive, a low level supply voltage is applied to the source line connected to the cell to maintain the data stored in the cell. However, before a cell is accessed (e.g., during a read or write operation), the source line is raised to a high level supply voltage.

摘要: A dual rail flip flop with complementary outputs includes a master stage with embedded logic, a sensing stage, and one or more slave stages. The flip flop operates in a pre-charge state and an evaluate state. During the pre-charge state when a clock signal is low, the flip flop pre-charges internal keeper nodes to a high value. When the clock signal transitions high, the flip flop enters an evaluation state and one of the internal keeper nodes evaluates to a low value. The sense stage senses which of the internal keeper nodes is evaluating to zero, and drives it to zero faster. The slave stages reflect the state of the internal keeper nodes during the evaluate state, and maintain their states during the pre-charge state.

摘要: A differential current switch logic (DCSL) system is provided which has an evaluation tree including a plurality of input terminals and a pair of complementary output nodes. The DCSL system also has an output network which establishes a pair of state outputs at a predetermined level during a precharge phase and establishes the state outputs at complementary levels in response to the evaluation tree output nodes during an evaluate phase. First and second NMOS transistors are connected in series between the DCVS output state network and the evaluation tree output nodes with their gates coupled to the state outputs to isolate the outputs from the evaluation tree following evaluation.
