摘要： An energy-saving circuit and method using charge equalization across complementary nodes reduces power consumption in memory circuits and other circuits such as wide multiplexers having complementary high-capacitance nodes. A change detection circuit detects a state change to be applied to the bitlines, and generates a pulse if a state change is to be applied. A pass gate connected between the nodes is activated in response to the pulse to equalize the charge on the bitlines. The driver circuit enable inputs are also delayed, so that the bitlines are not driven until after the charge has been equalized and the pass gate disabled. In one embodiment, the driver circuits are only enabled momentarily by a pulsed output of the change detector and keeper circuits are employed to retain the bitlines in their asserted states.

摘要： An integrated circuit (IC) includes power supply interconnects that couple to a power source. The integrated circuit includes electronic devices that perform desired functions and further includes decoupling capacitor circuits that provide noise reduction throughout the integrated circuit. In one embodiment, each decoupling capacitor circuit includes a decoupling capacitor and a switching circuit. The switching circuit connects the decoupling capacitor to the power supply interconnects during a connect mode when the switching circuit detects no substantial decoupling capacitor leakage. However, the switching circuit effectively disconnects the decoupling capacitor from the power supply interconnects during a disconnect mode when the switching circuit detects substantial decoupling capacitor leakage. The decoupling capacitor circuit self-initializes in the connect mode without external control signals and is thus self-contained. Because of the self-contained nature of the decoupling capacitor circuit, an integrated circuit may contain an array of decoupling capacitor circuits without expenditure of substantial chip real estate for respective decoupling capacitor control lines.

摘要： An apparatus and method for speeding up access time of a large register file with wrap capability are provided. With the apparatus and method, the 2:1 multiplexers in conventional register file systems are eliminated from the circuit configuration and instead, additional primary multiplexers are provided for half of the addresses, e.g., the first four sub-arrays of the register file for which the wrap capability is needed. These additional primary multiplexers receive the read address and a shifted read word line signal. The other primary multiplexer receives the read address and an unshifted read word line signal. The outputs from the shifted and non-shifted primary multiplexers are provided to a set of secondary multiplexers which multiplex bits from the outputs of the shifted and non-shifted primary multiplexers to generate the read addresses to be used by the multiple read/write register file system.

摘要： A memory circuit includes a global read bit line, a global read bit line latch, and a plurality of sub-arrays, each of which includes first and second local read bit lines, first and second local write bit lines, and first and second pluralities of memory cells interconnected, respectively, with the first and second local read bit lines and the first and second local write bit lines. The local read bit lines are decoupled from the local write bit lines. A local multiplexing block is interconnected with the first and second local read bit lines and is configured to ground the first and second local read bit lines upon assertion of a SLEEP signal, and to selectively interconnect the local read bit lines to the global read bit line. A global multiplexing block is interconnected with the global read bit line and is configured to maintain the global read bit line in a substantially discharged state upon assertion of the SLEEP signal and to interconnect the global read bit line to the global read bit line latch. Also included are design structures for circuits of the kind described.

摘要： A register file is often used within integrated circuitry to temporarily hold data. Sometimes this data needs to be retained within the register file for a period of time, such as when there is a stall operation. Conventional register files have utilized a hold multiplexor to perform such a stall operation. The multiplexor however inserts a delay that is undesirable in high performance integrated circuitry. The multiplexor is replaced with a tri-state inverter coupled to the global bit line of the register file, which minimizes this additional delay from the register file data access time.
