    摘要: A method to improve performance of an SRAM cell or an SRAM array comprising a plurality of SRAM cells is described. The cell is supplied by a first, higher voltage. The cell is accessible for read and write operations via at least one bit line connected to a write circuit. The cell is further addressable by at least one word line in order to access it by the bit line. To access the cell for read or write operations, the word line is supplied by the first, higher voltage and the bit line is supplied by a second, lower voltage. During write operations, the write circuit is driven by the first, higher voltage while the bit lines are still at the lower voltage. An SRAM cell, an SRAM array plus a write circuit used to perform the method are also described.

    摘要: An automatic power level control circuit provides output power control of a transmitter device as used in wireless LAN applications in that an output signal is detected and a corresponding control voltage of a DAC in the base band section is corresponding adjusted. Preferably, the measurement of the output power is carried out during a first transmit cycle and the DAC is adjusted after completion of the first transmit cycle and prior to the begin of a subsequent transmit cycle. Thus, a reliable output level control is obtained with a minimum number of radio frequency components, wherein the control loop shows an enhanced stability due to the time-discrete control operation.

    摘要: A method for storage cell design evaluation provides accurate information about state changes in static storage cells. A wordline select pulse is propagated along the wordline select path of the test row to an output driver circuit, in order to test the clock and/or address timing of the row, so that variation of access timing, read stability and writeability with wordline strength/access voltage can be determined. An access detection cell holds the input of the output driver circuit until a simulated access operation activated by the wordline select pulse is complete. Multiple test rows may be cascaded among columns to provide a long delay line or ring oscillator for improved measurement resolution.
