    摘要: A static random access memory cell comprising a first inverter, a second inverter, a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor. The first inverter is cross-coupled with the second inverter. The first transistor is connected with a write word line, a write bit line, and a first output node of the first inverter. The second transistor is connected with a complementary write bit line, the write word line, and a second output node of the second inverter. The third transistor is connected with a read bit line, a read word line, and the first input node of the first inverter to form a read port transistor, and a read port is formed. The read port transistor has a feature of asymmetric threshold voltage, and the read bit line swing can be expanded by the decrease of clamping current or the boosted read bit line.

    摘要: A static random access memory (SRAM) circuit includes a pair of complementary global bit-lines, and a pair of complementary local bit-lines. A global read/write circuit is coupled to, and configured to write a small-swing signal to, the pair of global bit-lines in a write operation. The SRAM circuit further includes a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer, each having a first input and a second input. The first input of the first multiplexer and the first input of the second multiplexer are coupled to different one of the pair of global bit-lines. A sense amplifier includes a first input coupled to an output of the first multiplexer, and a second input coupled to an output of the second multiplexer. The sense amplifier is configured to amplify the small-swing signal to a full-swing signal, and outputs the full-swing signal to the pair of local bit-lines in the write operation.
