Abstract

The induced bit-line leakage current (BLC) of an static random access memory (SRAM) by transistor leakage at low V_th and dependent on cell data associated with the bit-line, is detected in a pre-charge cycle and compensated for during a read/write cycle. V_th can be lowered to 0.23 V_DD in the 0.07 μm/1.0 V CMOS with this scheme as it was in the high-speed SRAM of the previous generations. SRAM operation speed can be improved by 25% at 0.9 V V_DD compared with the case where this scheme is not applied.
