摘要: A SRAM device is provided having a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell may include a plurality of transistors coupled in a cross-coupled inverter configuration. An NMOS transistor may be coupled to a body of the two PMOS transistors in the cross-coupled inverter configuration so as to apply a forward body bias to the PMOS transistors of the cross-coupled inverter configuration. A power control unit may control a supply voltage to each of the PMOS transistors as well as apply the switching signal to the NMOS transistor based on a STANDBY mode of the memory cell.

摘要: An apparatus and method are provided for limiting a drop of a supply voltage in an SRAM device to retain the state of the memory during an IDLE state. The apparatus may include a memory array, a sleep device, and a clamping circuit. The clamping circuit may be configured to activate the sleep device when a voltage drop across the memory array falls below a preset voltage and the memory array is in an IDLE state.

摘要: A method and apparatus for bus repeater tapering. The sizing of repeaters on a portion of one transmission line is chosen to propagate a signal transition at a particular rate. The sizing of repeaters on a substantially parallel portion of another transmission line, is chosen to propagate a second signal transition at a different rate. Thus, the worst-case capacitance coupling factor between the two transmission lines may be reduced.
