摘要： A memory system, e.g., a domino static random access memory (SRAM), includes a plurality of memory cells and a wordline decoder coupled to the memory cells through wordlines. The wordline decoder provides a wordline signal to one or more memory cells over the wordlines to allow access to the memory cell(s) for a read operation or a write operation. Read_wl and write_wl signals are generated by the wordline decoder based on whether a read or a write operation is to be performed in the next cycle. The wordline decoder includes a buffer having an input for receiving the write_wl signal and an output for outputting a delayed version of the write_wl signal. The wordline signal is activated by the wordline decoder based on the read_wl signal and the delayed write_wl signal. This overcomes the “early read” problem in which write performance is degraded due to a fast read path.

摘要： Space, power and performance are improved by a memory device having multiple modes of operation for elastic data transfer. The memory device is comprised of first and second elastic store memory blocks, each containing 16 (18 bit) memory locations, and a write/read decoder. The first memory block receives write data from a first (18 bit) input data bus, and outputs two memory locations (36 bits) of read data onto a four memory location (72 bit) output data bus. The second memory block receives write data from multiplexed first and second (18 bit) input data buses and outputs two memory locations of read data onto the four memory location (72 bit) output data bus. The write address decoder receives a 5 bit write address, wherein the write address decoder will, as a function of a mode signal for effectively changing the address space for writing data, direct write data received at the data inputs of the first and second elastic store blocks to the correct memory locations. In one mode, data received on the first input data bus will get written to either the first or second memory, and, in another mode, data received on the first input data bus will be written to the first memory block and data received on the second input data bus will be written to the second memory block.

摘要： Arrays such as SRAMs, DRAMs, CAMs & Programmable ROMs having multiple independent failures are repaired using redundant bit lines. A first embodiment provides redundant bit lines on one side of the array. During a write, data is shifted towards the redundant bit lines on the one side of the array, bypassing failed bit lines. A second embodiment provides a spare bit line on each side of the array. During a write, a first failing bit line is replaced by a first spare bit line on a first side of the array, and a second failing bit line is replaced by a second spare bit line on a second side of the array.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided to reading indicia from an SRAM cell. A low value is generated on a write true line. A high value is generated on a continuous bit_line. The true node of the SRAM cell is evaluated through use of a floating voltage coupled to the true node of the SRAM cell. If the floating voltage stays substantially constant, the value read from the SRAM cell is a high. If the floating voltage is drained to ground, the value read from the SRAM cell is a low.

摘要： A high performance domino static random access memory (SRAM) is provided. The domino SRAM includes a plurality of local cell groups. Each of the plurality of local cell groups includes a plurality of SRAM cells and a local true bitline coupled to each of the plurality of SRAM cells of each local cell group. A continuous complement bitline is coupled to each of the plurality of local cell groups and is coupled to each of the plurality of SRAM cells of each local cell group. For a write to the SRAM cell complement node, only driving the continuous complement bitline is required. The domino SRAM reduces the number of required wires and required transistors as compared to prior art domino SRAM and thus the area needed and power consumption are reduced for the domino SRAM.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided for reducing power consumption and area of a memory subsystem. In many typical memory subsystems, dynamic topologies are employed to detect logic levels in memory; however, dynamic topologies often require clocking. Both power and area are consumed as a result of the clocking. To combat the consumption of power and area, the memory subsystem has been modified so that an enable signal, that must be present, is utilized instead to provide the clocking.

The SRAM cell layouts include a plurality of field effect transistors (FETs). The plurality of FETs defines a storage cell and a pair of wordline FETs coupled to the storage cell. Each of the plurality of FETs has a device structure extending in a single direction. The device structure of each of the plurality of FETs includes a diffusion layer, a polysilicon layer and first metal layer. A local interconnect connects the diffusion layer, the polysilicon layer and the first metal layer. Each of the pair of wordline FETs having a gate input connected to a wordline. The wordline including a single wordline for implementing one-port operation or two separate wordline connections for implementing two-port operation. The local interconnect includes a metal local interconnect that lays on the diffusion and polysilicon layers for electrically connecting diffusion and polysilicon layers and a metal contact that extends between the metal local interconnect and the first level metal for electrically connecting diffusion and polysilicon layers and the first level metal. Alternatively, a metal contact lays directly on the diffusion and polysilicon layers electrically connecting diffusion and polysilicon layers and the first level metal. The local interconnect further includes a conduction layer disposed on a butted diffusion connection of diffusion-p type and diffusion-n type and a metal local interconnect disposed on the conduction layer.
