Abstract
The induced bit-line leakage current (BLC) of an static random access memory (SRAM) by transistor leakage at low Vth 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. Vth can be lowered to 0.23 VDD 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 VDD compared with the case where this scheme is not applied.
