Title
A digitized replica bitline delay technique for random-variation-tolerant timing generation of SRAM sense amplifiers
Abstract
A digitized replica bitline delay technique has been proposed for random-variation-tolerant timing generation of SRAM sense amplifiers. The sense timing variation attributable to the random variation of transistor threshold voltage is reduced by sufficient count of multiple replica cells, and replica bitline delay is digitized and multiplied for adjusting it to the target sense timing. The variation of the generated timing was 34% smaller than that with a conventional technique and cycle time was reduced by 16% at the supply voltage of 0.6V in 40nm CMOS technology with this scheme.
