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 method and apparatus for providing flexible modular redundancy allocation for memory built in self test of random access memory with redundancy. The apparatus includes a first redundancy support register that includes inputs for receiving an address of a location in memory under test and data relating to must fix repair elements. The address includes a row and column vector of the location. The first redundancy support register also includes outputs for transmitting the address and data. The apparatus also includes a second redundancy support register including inputs for receiving the address and data from the outputs of the first redundancy support register. Each of the inputs of the second redundancy support register shares a one-to-one correspondence to each of the outputs of the first redundancy support register. The apparatus further includes allocation logic for providing a modular implementation of the first redundancy support register and the second redundancy support register.

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.
