Abstract: A disclosed non-volatile memory (NVM) structure is implemented in a fully depleted semiconductor-on-insulator technology processing platform and includes multiple NVM banks with NVM cells including transistors. NVM banks have well regions in a substrate. Transistors of NVM cells of each NVM bank are on an insulator layer above a corresponding well region for that bank. A bias control circuit causes well regions for NVM banks in a standby state to be biased with a reverse back biasing voltage and causes a well region for an NVM bank in an operational state to be biased with a forward back biasing voltage. The bias control circuit can initiate forward back biasing during a cache data retrieval process (before NVM bank access) to ensure that the corresponding well region of an NVM bank at issue is fully biased when, following the cache data retrieval process, access to the NVM bank is still required.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a circuit structure for storage and retrieval of data, and related methods. The circuit structure may include drive transistor having a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal coupled to a word line. A first resistive memory element coupled between the source terminal of the drive transistor and a first bit line may be in a first memory state. A second resistive memory element coupled between the drain terminal of the drive transistor and a second bit line may be in a second memory state opposite the first memory state. The structure may also include a read transistor having a source terminal coupled to the drain terminal of the drive transistor, a drain terminal coupled to ground, and a gate terminal coupled to a select line.
