A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) having a split write control is described. The SRAM includes bit, write, and write-word lines. Each memory cell within the SRAM includes a delay which is coupled to a dedicated write-word line. When a cell is not being written, its delay receives a delay signal on its associated write-word line, which increases the response time of the cell. When a cell is to be written, however, its delay receives a bypass signal on its associated write-word line, which decreases the response time of the SRAM cell.

A method and apparatus for regulating photocurrents is described. A photocurrent regulator may include a transistor having an associated cross-sectional area. The photocurrent regulator is coupled between an integrated circuit and a voltage source. When a dose rate event occurs within the integrated circuit, the photocurrent regulator, via the cross-sectional area, regulates a recombination path to the voltage source. Consequently, photocurrents within the integrated circuit are regulated, preventing permanent damage within the integrated circuit.

A radiation hardened memory element includes at least two delay elements for maintaining radiation hardness. In an example, the memory element is an SRAM cell. Both delays are coupled together in series so that if either one of the delays fails, a delay will still be maintained within the SRAM cell. The critical areas of the delays may be positioned so that a common line of sight cannot be made between each delay and a circuit node.
