Abstract:In this paper, a guideline for optimum embedded memory structures for advanced MPUs and other memory-embedded logic devices is proposed. It is concluded that introduction of full CMOS cells is inevitable for future SRkMs operated under reduced power supply voltage conditions. Therefore, MPUs will continue to use full CMOS cells maintaining excellent process and transistor design compatibility with SRAMs. On the other hand, some advanced logic devices will use DRAM cells, since they require higher density rathe… 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.
