摘 要: 设计一种8管静态随机存储器(static random access memory,SRAM)单元和相应的读写辅助电路,解决了传统6管SRAM单元低压工作存在的读写稳定性问题,实现了具有超动态电压调整(ultra-dynamic voltage scalable, U-DVS)能力的SRAM设计,其工作电压范围可从亚阈值区变化到标称电压,达到SRAM低功耗和高性能的平衡。通过自适应衬底偏置电路和读缓冲器的设计,增强了SRAM单元低压下的读稳定性(static noise margin, SNM)和鲁棒性。设计可复用的读写辅助电路,同时提高SRAM的低压写能力和读速度。采用标准0.18-μm互补金属-氧化物-半导体(complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor,CMOS)工艺进行流片验证。测试结果表明:SRAM工作电压范围达到0.2~1.8 V,相应的工作频率为184 kHz~208 MHz,0.2~1.8 V的工作电压范围内,SRAM总功耗降低了4个数量级,工作电压0.2 V时的读写功耗仅为30 nW.

Abstract: This paper presents a novel 8T static random access memory (SRAM) bit-cell and assisted circuit to solve the low-voltage functional problem of 6T SRAM, and achieve the capability of ultra-dynamic voltage scalable (U-DVS) operation. For low voltage operation, the configurable body bias scheme enlarges the static noise margin (SNM) and bit-cell robustness. By multiplexing write and read peripheral assist circuits, SRAM write ability and read speed are both improved. The test-chip is fabricated with a standard 0.18 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. The measurement results demonstrate that the proposed SRAM can operate from 1.8 V at 208 MHz down to 0.2 V at 184 kHz and the total power dissipation scales down by four orders of magnitude. The access power at 0.2 V supply voltage is 30 nW.
