    Abstract: Static random access memories (SRAM) with read-preferred cell structures and write drivers are disclosed. In one embodiment, the SRAM has a six transistor bit cell. The read-preferred bit cell is implemented by providing two inverters, each having a pull up transistor, a pull down transistor and a pass gate transistor. Each pull up transistor is associated with a feedback loop. The feedback loop improves random static noise margin. Each transistor has a width and a length. The lengths of the pass gate transistors are increased. The widths of the pull down transistors are equal to one another and also equal to the widths of the pass gate transistors. The widths of the pass gate and pull down transistors may also be increased relative to prior designs. A write assist circuit may also be used to improve performance.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for static memory cells. A static memory cell may include a first pass gate transistor including a first back gate node and a second pass gate transistor including a second back gate node. The static memory cell may include a first pull down transistor including a third back gate node and a second pull down transistor including a fourth back gate node. The source node of the first pull down transistor, source node of the second pull down transistor, and first, second, third, and fourth back gate nodes are electrically coupled to each other to form a common node.

    Abstract: A static random-access memory (SRAM) memory cell includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters and a gating transistor coupled to a first node of a first inverter of the pair of cross-coupled inverters. A gate of the gating transistor is coupled to a first wordline. The gating transistor is configured to selectively couple a bitline to the first node of the first inverter responsive to a first wordline signal. The first inverter has a second node coupled to a second wordline. The first wordline and the second wordline are each independently controllable.

    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to a seven transistor static random-access memory (7T SRAM) bit cell which includes a first inverter having a first pull-up transistor, a first pull-down transistor, and a first storage node, and a second inverter having a second pull-up transistor, a second pull-down transistor, and a second storage node. The second storage node is coupled to gates of the first pull-up transistor and the first pull-down transistor. A transmission gate is configured to selectively couple the first storage node to gates of the second pull-up transistor and the second pull-down transistor during a write operation, a standby mode, and a hold mode, and selectively decouple the first storage node from gates of the first pull-up transistor and a first pull-down transistor during a read operation. The 7T SRAM bit cell can be read or written through an access transistor coupled to the first storage node.
