    摘要: The number of power-gating transistors on an integrated circuit used for power reduction in a sleep mode is controlled during a wake state to adjust the current flow and hence voltage drop across the power-gating transistors as a function of aging of these transistors and/or a function of temperature of the integrated circuit. In this way, the supply voltage to the integrated circuit may be better tailored to minimize current leakage when the integrated circuit is young or operating at low temperatures.

    摘要: A method for improving performance of a digital memory array device including a plurality of memory cells; each respective memory cell storing a first digital value and a second digital value being an inverse of the first digital value; storing of the first and second digital values being controlled by a first digital signal effecting selection of a specified memory cell for storing; includes: (a) determining an extant value relating to the first digital signal; (b) if the extant value has a first value, effecting a bit flip operation in the specified memory cell to invert values of at least one of the stored first digital and the second digital values; (c) if the extant value does not have the first value, foregoing the bit flip operation in the specified memory cell.
