    摘要: An SRAM cell that is accessed by a single word line and separate access transistors for read and write operations. A pair of write bit line transfer devices provide respectively access to the right and left sides of cross coupled pull-up, pull-down transistor pairs for a write operation, and a single read bit line transistor in series with the word line transistor, when selected, reads the content of the cell.

    摘要: A high performance, set associative, cache memory tag multiplexer provides wide output pulse width without impacting hold time by separating the evaluation and restore paths and using a wider clock in the restore path than in the evaluation path. A clock controls the evaluation of the input signals. Its leading edge (i.e., rising edge) turns on NR to allow evaluation, its trailing edge (falling edge) turns off NR to stop evaluation. At this point, when NR is shut off, the inputs can start changing to set up for the next cycle. Hence the hold time of the input is determined by the clock trailing edge.

    摘要: A cache memory high performance pseudo dynamic address compare path divides the address into two or more address segments. Each segment is separately compared in a comparator comprised of static logic elements. The output of each of these static comparators is then combined in a dynamic logic circuit to generate a dynamic late select output.

    摘要: A ring oscillator row circuit for evaluating memory cell performance provides for circuit delay and performance measurements in an actual memory circuit environment. A ring oscillator is implemented with a row of memory cells and has outputs connected to one or more bitlines along with other memory cells that are substantially identical to the ring oscillator cells. Logic may be included for providing a fully functional memory array, so that the cells other than the ring oscillator cells can be used for storage when the ring oscillator row wordlines are disabled. One or both power supply rails of individual cross-coupled inverter stages forming static memory cells used in the ring oscillator circuit may be isolated from each other in order to introduce a voltage asymmetry so that circuit asymmetry effects on delay can be evaluated.

    摘要: Methods for designing a 6T SRAM cell having greater stability and/or a smaller cell size are provided. A 6T SRAM cell has a pair access transistors (NFETs), a pair of pull-up transistors (PFETs), and a pair of pull-down transistors (NFETs), wherein the access transistors have a higher threshold voltage than the pull-down transistors, which enables the SRAM cell to effectively maintain a logic “0” during access of the cell thereby increasing the stability of the cell, especially for cells during “half select.” Further, a channel width of a pull-down transistor can be reduced thereby decreasing the size of a high performance six transistor SRAM cell without effecting cell the stability during access. And, by decreasing the cell size, the overall design layout of a chip may also be decreased.

    摘要: A silicon on insulator (SOI) CMOS circuit, macro and integrated circuit (IC) chip. The chip or macro may include be an SRAM in partially depleted (PD) SOI CMOS. Most field effect transistors (FETs) do not have body contacts. FETs otherwise exhibiting a sensitivity to history effects have body contacts. The body contact for each such FET is connected to at least one other body contact. A back bias voltage may be provided to selected FETs.
