In advanced technology nodes, static power consumption dominates system power in applications that do not operate at high frequency. SRAM leakage is a major component of static power consumption of a SOC. In this paper, we propose a 81nW ultra low power error amplifier to control retention leakage of 4Mb SRAM array. The overall memory subsystem leakage power reduces by 50% from no retention case and 33% from the conventional retention solution at TT (25°C). At FNSP (140°C) leakage power reduces by 75% from no retention & 69% from conventional solution. Monte Carlo analysis shows the 3σ variations are within guard band limits. |
