A circuit and a method for self refresh of DRAM cells are provided. The circuit comprises a bias generator and an oscillator. The bias generator comprises a first current generator, a second current generator and a converter. The first current generator generates a first leakage current of “0” state cells. The second current generator generates a second leakage current of “1” state cells. The converter transforms a current comprising the first leakage current and the second leakage current into output biases. The method comprises generating leakage currents from memory cells; transforming the leakage currents into output biases for determining a self refresh period; and using the output biases to control an oscillator for generating a periodical signal pulse in response to the leakage currents.

An SRAM write assist apparatus comprises a timer unit and a voltage divider. The voltage divider unit is configured to divide a voltage potential down to a lower level. The output of the voltage divider is connected to a memory cell in a write operation. The timer unit is configured to generate a pulse having a width inversely proportional to the voltage potential applied to a memory chip. Furthermore, the timer unit controls the period in which a lower voltage from the output of the voltage divider is applied to the memory cell. Moreover, external level and timing programmable signals can be used to further adjust the voltage divider's ratio and the pulse width from the timer unit. By employing the SRAM write assist apparatus, a memory chip can perform a reliable and fast write operation.

An internal clock gating apparatus comprises a static logic block and a domino logic block. The static logic block is configured to receive a clock signal and a clock enable signal. The domino logic block is configured to receive the clock signal and a control signal from an output of the static logic block. The static logic block and the domino logic block are further configured such that an output of the domino logic block generates a signal similar to the clock signal in phase when the clock enable signal has a logic high state. On the other hand, the output of the domino logic block generates a logic low signal when the clock enable signal has a logic low state. Furthermore, the static logic block and the domino logic block can reduce the setup time and delay time of the internal clock gating apparatus respectively.
