Deep Sub-micron Sram Design for Drv Analysis and Low Leakage
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the design opportunities of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) for lower power consumption and propagation delay. Initially the existing SRAM architectures are investigated, and thereafter a suitable basic 6T SRAM structure is chosen. The key to low power dissipation in the SRAM data path is to reduce the signal swings on the highly capacitive nodes like the bit and data lines. While designing the SRAM, techniques such as circuit partitioning, divide word line and low power layout methodologies are reviewed to minimize the power dissipation.

متن کاملStandby supply voltage minimization for deep sub-micron SRAM
Suppressing the leakage current in memories is critical in low-power design. By reducing the standby supply voltage (VDD) to its limit, which is the data retention voltage (DRV), leakage power can be substantially reduced. This paper models the DRV of a standard low leakage SRAM module as a function of process and design parameters, and analyzes the SRAM cell stability when VDD approaches DRV. ...
