Abstract:
A first-in, first-out (FIFO) memory cell architecture is provided in which one node of the latch in the FIFO memory cell is connected to the gate of the pass transistor. Further, the bit line is connected to the source of the pass transistor, and the word line is connected to the drain of the pass transistor to provide a stable memory cell requiring less area for implementation.
Abstract:
A high bit density, high speed, via and metal BE type programmable ROM core cell architecture for storing large amounts of non-volatile data and having a relatively fast turn around time is provided. The ROM core cell may include memory cells organized in rows and columns where each of the memory cells includes three transistors and two bit lines. The arrangement between the three transistors and two bit lines may be such that each of the memory cells is capable of storing four bits of data.
