摘要: A memory device includes an array of memory cells and a plurality of peripheral circuits operably coupled to the memory array. A power control circuit may be configured to individually control an application of power to each of the plurality of peripheral circuits and the array of memory cells. Inserting a switch device across the different power domains to achieve the same sequential wake-up path for the peripheral circuits connected to different power domains reduces peak current.

摘要: An SRAM multiplexing apparatus comprise a plurality of local multiplexers and a global multiplexer. Each local multiplexer is coupled to a memory bank. The global multiplexer has a plurality of inputs, each of which is coupled to a corresponding output of the plurality of local multiplexers. In response to a decoded address in a read operation, an input of a local multiplexer is forwarded to a corresponding input of the global multiplexer. Similarly, the decoded address allows the global multiplexer to forward the input signal to a data out port via a buffer.

摘要: A memory array includes a first memory column having a first bit line, a first word line and a second bit line. The memory array also includes a second memory column having the second bit line, a second word line and a third bit line. The first memory column and the second memory column are configured to share the second bit line. The sharing of the second bit line facilitates sharing one or more memory array components between the first memory column and the second memory column.
