Title
A 290-mV, 7-nm Ultra-Low-Voltage One-Port SRAM Compiler Design Using a 12T Write Contention and Read Upset Free Bit-Cell
Abstract
In this paper, we present an ultra-low voltage one-port static random access memory (SRAM) compiler targeting small to medium array sizes to provide a smaller area solution compared to conventional 6T-based SRAMs. A 12T write contention and read upset free bit-cell are used in the design. Array architecture employs a read–modify–write scheme to support bit-write (BW) masking and column multiplexing. Built-in-self-test (BIST) and synchronous write-through (SWT) options are also supported to provide testability features, while power management (PM) option is included to provide low-leakage sleep and shut-down modes. The proposed design is fabricated in 7-nm FinFET technology and achieves the lowest reported <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$V_{\mathrm {min}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of 290 mV in this technology.
