    摘要: An eight transistor static random access memory (SRAM)device includes first and second inverters, a first bit line, a first complement bit line, a pair of write access transistors, and a pair of read access transistors. Each of the first and second inverters includes a respective pair of transistors, and has a respective data node. Each of a first and a second of the access transistors has a source, a drain, a front gate, and a back gate. The first access transistor is coupled to the first bit line, and the second access transistor is coupled to the first complement bit line. The back gate of the first access transistor is coupled to the data node of the first inverter; and the back gate of the second access transistor is coupled to the data node of the second inverter. This increases the difference between the threshold voltages of the first and second access transistors.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for varying one or more of a supply voltage and reference voltage in an integrated circuit, using independent control of a diode voltage in an asymmetrical double-gate device. An integrated circuit is provided that is controlled by one or more of a supply voltage and a reference voltage. The integrated circuit comprises an independently controlled asymmetrical double-gate device to adjust one or more of the supply voltage and the reference voltage. The independent control may comprise, for example, a back gate bias. The independently controlled asymmetrical double-gate device may be employed in a number of applications, including voltage islands, static RAM, and to improve the power and performance of a processing unit.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for back-gate control in an asymmetrical memory cell. In one aspect, the cell includes five transistors and can be employed for static random access memory (SRAM) applications. An inventive memory circuit can include a plurality of bit line structures, a plurality of word line structures that intersect the plurality of bit line structures to form a plurality of cell locations, and a plurality of cells located at the plurality of cell locations. Each cell can be selectively coupled to a corresponding one of the bit line structures under control of a corresponding one of the word line structures. Each cell can include a first inverter having first and second field effect transistors (FETS) and a second inverter with third and fourth FETS that is cross-coupled to the first inverter to form a storage flip-flop. One of the FETS in the first inverter can be configured with independent front and back gates and can function as both an access transistor and part of one of the inverters.
