    摘要: A memory system, e.g., a domino static random access memory (SRAM), includes a plurality of memory cells and a wordline decoder coupled to the memory cells through wordlines. The wordline decoder provides a wordline signal to one or more memory cells over the wordlines to allow access to the memory cell(s) for a read operation or a write operation. Read_wl and write_wl signals are generated by the wordline decoder based on whether a read or a write operation is to be performed in the next cycle. The wordline decoder includes a buffer having an input for receiving the write_wl signal and an output for outputting a delayed version of the write_wl signal. The wordline signal is activated by the wordline decoder based on the read_wl signal and the delayed write_wl signal. This overcomes the “early read” problem in which write performance is degraded due to a fast read path.

The wordline decoder provides a wordline signal to one or more memory cells over the wordlines to allow access to the memory cell(s) for a read operation or a write operation. Read_w1 and write_w1 signals are generated by the wordline decoder based on whether a read or a write operation is to be performed in the next cycle. The wordline decoder includes a buffer having an input for receiving the write_w1 signal and an output for outputting a delayed version of the write_w1 signal.

    摘要: Arrays such as SRAMs, DRAMs, CAMs & Programmable ROMs having multiple independent failures are repaired using redundant bit lines. A first embodiment provides redundant bit lines on one side of the array. During a write, data is shifted towards the redundant bit lines on the one side of the array, bypassing failed bit lines. A second embodiment provides a spare bit line on each side of the array. During a write, a first failing bit line is replaced by a first spare bit line on a first side of the array, and a second failing bit line is replaced by a second spare bit line on a second side of the array.
