Static Noise

The present day electronic gadgets have semiconductor memory devices to store data. The static random access memory (SRAM) is a volatile memory, often preferred over dynamic random access memory (DRAM) due to higher speed and lower power dissipation. However, at scaling down of technology node, the leakage current in SRAM often increases and degrades its performance. To address this, the voltage scaling is preferred which subsequently affects the stability and delay of SRAM. This paper therefore presents a negative bit-line (NBL) write assist circuit which is used for enhancing the write ability while a separate (isolated) read buffer circuit is used for improving the read stability. In addition to this, the proposed design uses a tail (stack) transistor to decrease the overall static power dissipation and also to maintain the hold stability. The comparison of the proposed design has been done with state-of-the-art work in terms of write static noise margin (WSNM), write delay, read static noise margin (RSNM) and other parameters. It has been observed that there is an improvement of 48%, 11%, 19% and 32.4% in WSNM while reduction of 33%, 39%, 48% and 22% in write delay as compared to the conventional 6T SRAM cell, NBL, [Formula: see text] collapse and 9T UV SRAM, respectively.

Data stability, write ability and leakage power are major concerns in submicron static random access memory (SRAM) cell design. This paper presents an 11T SRAM cell with differential write and single-ended read. Proposed cell offers improved write ability by interrupting its ground connection during write operation. Separate read buffer provides disturb-free read operation. Characteristics are obtained from HSPICE simulation using 32[Formula: see text]nm high-performance predictive technology model. Simulation results show that the proposed cell achieves 4.5[Formula: see text] and 1.06[Formula: see text] higher read static noise margin (RSNM) as compared to conventional 6T (C6T) and PNN-based 10T cells, respectively, at 0.4[Formula: see text]V. Write static noise margin (WSNM) of the proposed design is 1.65[Formula: see text], 1.71[Formula: see text] and 1.77[Formula: see text] larger as compared to those of C6T, PPN-based 10T and PNN-based 10T cells, respectively, at 0.4V. Write “1” delay of the proposed cell is 0.108[Formula: see text] and 0.81[Formula: see text] as those of PPN10T and PNN10T cells, respectively. Proposed circuit consumes 1.40[Formula: see text] lesser read power as compared to PPN10T cell at 0.4[Formula: see text]V. Leakage power of the proposed cell is 0.35[Formula: see text] of C6T cell at 0.4[Formula: see text]V. Proposed 11T cell occupies 1.65[Formula: see text] larger area as compared to that of conventional 6T.
