    摘要: A device is disclosed having a low-voltage memory device. The device includes a first memory having a first memory topology and a second memory having a second memory topology, with both memories located in an integrated circuit. The first memory is a relatively high-density memory device, capable of storing large amounts of data relative to the second memory. The second memory is a low-voltage memory device capable of being accessed at low-voltages relative to the voltage at which the first memory can be accessed. Accordingly, the second memory is accessible when the integrated circuit is placed in a low-voltage mode of operation, which may represent a data retention state (sleep state) for the first memory or other portions of the integrated circuit. Thus, the device is able to store large amounts of data in the high density memory in a normal or active mode of operation, and also have access to the low-voltage memory during the low-voltage mode of operation.

    摘要: In a memory (100), a local data line pair (116, 118) is precharged to a first logic state and a global data line pair (101, 104) is precharged to a second logic state. A selected memory cell is coupled to the local data line pair (116, 118) to develop a differential local data line voltage. The differential local data line voltage is subsequently amplified to form an amplified differential local data line voltage. A selected one of the global data line pair (101, 104) is driven to the first logic state in response to the amplified differential local data line voltage to form a differential global data line voltage.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a memory cell that utilizes a bi-directional low impedance, low voltage drop full pass gate to connect a bit cell to a bit write line during a write phase, and during a read phase the full pass gate can remain off and a high input impedance read port can acquire and transmit the logic state stored by the memory cell to another subsystem. The full pass gate can be implemented by connecting a P type metal semiconductor field effect transistor (PMOS) in parallel with an NMOS device and driving the gates of the transistors with a differential signal. When a write operation requires a current to flow in a first direction, the PMOS device provides a negligible voltage drop, and when the write operation requires current to flow in a second or the opposite direction, the NMOS device can provide a negligible voltage. This bi-directional low voltage drop low loss switch can increase the write margin of the memory cell wherein the high impedance read port can provide increased isolation for the stored value during the read phase increasing the performance of the memory cell.
