Abstract:Leakage power consumption has become a critical issue for low power Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) design in the near-threshold regime. In this paper, an ultra-low leakage fourteen-transistor SRAM bitcell structure with the feedforward self-suppression scheme is presented. To reduce the leakage power significantly as well as maintain the data stability in hold state, a cross-coupled dynamic leakagesuppression inverter-based structure is adopted. Furthermore, the bypass scheme is employed to enable the spee… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
