    摘要: A method and circuit for implementing an enhanced static random access memory (SRAM) read and write performance ring oscillator, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A plurality of SRAM base blocks is connected together in a chain. Each of the plurality of SRAM base blocks includes a SRAM cell, such as an eight-transistor (8T) static random access memory (SRAM) cell, and a local evaluation block coupled to the SRAM cell. The SRAM cell includes independent left wordline input and right wordline input. The SRAM cell includes a read wordline connected high, and a true and complement write bitline pair connected low. In the local evaluation circuit, one input of a NAND gate receiving the read bitline input is connected high. A control signal is combined with an inverted feedback signal to start and stop the ring oscillator.

    摘要: A high performance domino static random access memory (SRAM) is provided. The domino SRAM includes a plurality of local cell groups. Each of the plurality of local cell groups includes a plurality of SRAM cells and a local true bitline coupled to each of the plurality of SRAM cells of each local cell group. A continuous complement bitline is coupled to each of the plurality of local cell groups and is coupled to each of the plurality of SRAM cells of each local cell group. For a write to the SRAM cell complement node, only driving the continuous complement bitline is required. The domino SRAM reduces the number of required wires and required transistors as compared to prior art domino SRAM and thus the area needed and power consumption are reduced for the domino SRAM.

    摘要: A pulse generator circuit is disclosed including a delay element coupled to a logic circuit. The delay element receives a clock signal CLK and a signal X and produces a signal XN dependent upon the clock signal CLK and the signal X. The logic circuit receives the clock signal CLK and the signal XN and produces a signal ACLK such that ACLK=CLK·XN′. The signal ACLK may include a series of positive pulses. The delay element may be, for example, one of multiple delay elements coupled in series, and signal X may be an output of a preceding one of the delay elements. A semiconductor device is described including the above pulse generator circuit and a self-resetting logic circuit. The self-resetting logic circuit receives the signal ACLK and one or more input signals and performs a logic operation using the one or more input signals during the positive pulses. The semiconductor device may include, for example, a random access memory (RAM) device, and the self-resetting logic circuit may form a part of a decoder circuit of the RAM device.
