    摘要: An SRAM cell that is accessed by a single word line and separate access transistors for read and write operations. A pair of write bit line transfer devices provide respectively access to the right and left sides of cross coupled pull-up, pull-down transistor pairs for a write operation, and a single read bit line transistor in series with the word line transistor, when selected, reads the content of the cell.

    摘要: A multi-threshold integrated circuit (IC) that may be supplied by multiple supplies, with an array of latches such as an array static random access memory (SRAM) cells and a CMOS SRAM with improved stability and reduced subthreshold leakage. Selected devices (NFETs and/or PFETs) in array cells and support logic, e.g., in the data path and in non-critical logic, are tailored for lower gate and subthreshold leakage. Normal base FETs have a base threshold and tailored FETs have a threshold above. In a multi-supply chip, circuits with tailored FETs are powered by an increased supply voltage.

    摘要: An apparatus and method is provided that combines both self test and functional features in a single latch circuit, which may be used with an SRAM array and is usefully embodied as an L1-L2 latch. During partial writes from an SRAM array, data bits of unknown state are inhibited from entering the latch circuit, while data for testing is allowed to enter. In one useful embodiment of the invention the latch circuit is used with a mode control that provides mode select signals to operate the latch circuit in one of a plurality of modes, including at least full write and partial write modes. The latch circuit further includes a data hold circuit for selectively receiving and storing data coupled to the latch circuit. A first enabling circuit responsive to the mode select signals enables the hold circuit to receive all the data contained in the array during a full write mode, and further enables the hold circuit to receive only some of the data bits contained in the array during a partial write mode, while preventing other data bits of “X” state from entering the latch circuit. A second enabling circuit enables the data hold circuit to receive data bits from a self test source in place of respective data bits from the SRAM array that are prevented from entering the latch circuit.

    摘要: A ring oscillator row circuit for evaluating memory cell performance provides for circuit delay and performance measurements in an actual memory circuit environment. A ring oscillator is implemented with a row of memory cells and has outputs connected to one or more bitlines along with other memory cells that are substantially identical to the ring oscillator cells. Logic may be included for providing a fully functional memory array, so that the cells other than the ring oscillator cells can be used for storage when the ring oscillator row wordlines are disabled. One or both power supply rails of individual cross-coupled inverter stages forming static memory cells used in the ring oscillator circuit may be isolated from each other in order to introduce a voltage asymmetry so that circuit asymmetry effects on delay can be evaluated.
