    摘要: Some embodiments relate to an SRAM cell layout including upper and lower cell edges and left and right cell edges. A first power rail extends generally in parallel with and lies along the left cell edge or the right cell edge. The first power rail is coupled to a first power supply. A second power rail extends generally in parallel with the first power rail and is arranged equidistantly between the left and right cell edges. A first bitline extends in parallel with the first power rail and the second power rail and is arranged to a first side of the second power rail. A second bitline, which is complementary to the first bitline, extends in parallel with the first power rail and the second power rail and is arranged to a second side of the second power rail.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes embodiments of a write assist circuit. The write assist circuit can include a control circuit and a voltage generator. The control circuit can be configured to receive memory address information associated with a memory write operation for memory cells. The voltage generator can be configured to provide a reference voltage to one or more bitlines coupled to the memory cells. The voltage generator can include two capacitive elements, where during the memory write operation, (i) one of the capacitive elements can be configured to couple the reference voltage to a first negative voltage, and (ii) based on the memory address information, both capacitive elements can be configured to cumulatively couple the reference voltage to a second negative voltage that is lower than the first negative voltage.

    摘要: A read assist circuit is disclosed that selectively provides read assistance to a number of memory cells during a read operation of the number of memory cells. The read assist circuit includes a voltage divider circuit and a number of write line driver circuits. The voltage divider circuit is configured to voltage-divide a power supply voltage and provide a source write line voltage at an output of the voltage divider circuit to the number of write line driver circuits. Each write line driver circuit is configured to receive the source write line voltage and selectively apply the source write line voltage to a corresponding write line according to a corresponding individual enable signal that controls each write driver circuit. Further, each write line driver circuit is coupled to a corresponding memory cell of the number of memory cells via the corresponding write line so that the corresponding write line provides a corresponding write line voltage to provide read assistance during the read operation.
