A 4-Mb (512 K words by 8-b) CMOS static RAM (SRAM) with a PMOS thin-film transistor (TFT) has been developed. The RAM can obtain a much larger data-retention margin than a conventional high-resistive load-type well by using the PMOS TFT as a memory cell load. An internal voltage down-converter architecture with an external supply voltage-level sensor not only realizes a highly reliable 0.5-μm MOS transistor operation but also a sufficiently low standby-power dissipation characteristic for data battery-backup application. A self-aligned equalized level sensing scheme can minimize the sensing delay for a local sense amplifier to drive a large load capacitance of a global sensing bus line. The RAM is fabricated using a 0.5 μm, triple-poly, and double-aluminum with dual gate-oxide-thickness CMOS process technology. The RAM operates under a single 5-V supply voltage with 23-ns typical address access time and 20- and 70-mA operation current at 10 and 40 MHz, respectively 相似文献

A 1-Mbit CMOS static RAM (SRAM) with a typical address access time of 9 ns has been developed. A high-speed sense amplifier circuit, consisting of a three-stage PMOS cross-coupled sense amplifier with a CMOS preamplifier, is the key to the fast access time. A parallel-word-access redundancy architecture, which causes no access time penalty, was also incorporated. A polysilicon PMOS load memory cell, which had a large on-current-to-off-current ratio, gave a much lower soft-error rate than a conventional high-resistance polysilicon load cell. The 1-Mbit SRAM, fabricated using a half-micrometer, triple-poly, and double-metal CMOS technology, operated at a single supply voltage of 5 V. An on-chip power supply converter was incorporated in the SRAM to supply a partial internal supply voltage of 4 V to the high-performance half-micrometer MOS transistors.<> 相似文献

Circuit techniques for a reduced-voltage-amplitude data bus, fast access 16-Mb CMOS SRAM are described. An interdigitated bit-line architecture reduces data bus line length, thus minimizing bus capacitance. A hierarchical sense amplifier consists of 32 local sense amplifiers and a current sense amplifier. The current sense amplifier is used to reduce the data bus voltage amplitude and the sensing of the 16-b data bus signals in parallel. Access time of 15 ns and an active power of 165 mW were achieved in a 16-Mb CMOS SRAM. A split-word-line layout memory cell with double-gate pMOS thin-film transistors (TFTs) keeps the transistor width stable while providing high-stability memory cell characteristics. The double-gate pMOS TFT also increases cell-storage node capacitance and soft-error immunity 相似文献

An advanced TFT memory cell technology has been developed for making high-density and high-speed SRAM cells. The cell is fabricated using a phase-shift lithography that enables patterns with spaces of less than 0.25 μm to be made using the conventional stepper. Cell area is also reduced by using a small cell-ratio and a parallel layout for the transistor. Despite the small cell-ratio, stable operation is assured by using advanced polysilicon PMOS TFT's for load devices. The effect of the Si3N4 multilayer gate insulator on the on-current and the influence of the channel implantation are also investigated. To obtain stable operation and extremely low stand-by power dissipation, a self-aligned offset structure for the polysilicon PMOS TFT is proposed and demonstrated. A leakage current of only 2 fA/cell and an on-/off-current ratio of 4.6×106 are achieved with this polysilicon PMOS TFT in a memory cell, which is demonstrated in a experimental 1-Mbit CMOS SRAM chip that has an access time of only 7 ns 相似文献

A 4-Mb CMOS SRAM having 0.2-μA standby current at a supply voltage of 3 V has been developed. Current-mirror/PMOS cross-coupled cascade sense-amplifier circuits have achieved the fast address access time of 23 ns. A new noise-immune data-latch circuit has attained power-reduction characteristics at a low operating cycle time without access delay. A 0.5-μm CMOS, four-level poly, two-level metal technology with a polysilicon PMOS load memory cell, yielded a small cell area of 17 μm2 and the very small standby current. A quadruple-array, word-decoder architecture allowed a small chip area of 122 mm2 相似文献

A novel architecture that enables fast write/read in poly-PMOS load or high-resistance polyload single-bit-line cells is developed. The architecture for write uses alternate twin word activation (ATWA) with bit-line pulsing. A dummy cell is used to obtain a reference voltage for reading. An excellent balance between a normal cell signal line and a dummy cell signal line is attained using balanced common data-line architecture. A newly developed self-bias-control (SBC) sense amplifier provides excellent stability and fast sensing performance for input voltages close to VCC at a low power supply of 2.5 V. The single-bit-line architecture is incorporated in a 16-Mb SRAM, which was fabricated using 0.25-μm CMOS technology. The proposed single-bit-line architecture reduces the cell area to 2.3-μm2 , which is two-thirds of a conventional two-bit-line cell with the same processes. The 16-Mb SRAM, a test chip for a 64-Mb SRAM, shows a 15-ns address access time and a 20-ns cycle time 相似文献

A 25-ns 4-Mbit CMOS SRAM with 512 K word*8-bit organization has been developed. The RAM was fabricated using a 0.5- mu m double-poly and double-aluminum CMOS technology and was assembled in a 32-pin 400-mil DIP. A small cell size of 3.6*5.875 mu m/sup 2/ and a chip size of 7.46*17.41 mm/sup 2/ were obtained. A fast address access time of 25 ns with a single 3.3-V supply voltage has been achieved using the newly developed dynamic bit-line load (DBL) circuit scheme incorporated with an address transition detector (ATD), divided word-line structure (DWL), three-stage sense amplifier, and low-noise output circuit approach. A low operating current of 46 mA at 40 MHz and low standby currents of 70 mu A (TTL) and 5 mu A (CMOS) were also attained.<> 相似文献

To meet the increasing demand for higher-density and faster EPROMs, a 16-Mb CMOS EPROM has been developed based on 0.6-μm N-well CMOS technology. In scaled EPROMs, it is important to guarantee device reliability under high-voltage operation during programming. By employing internal programming-voltage reduction and new stress relaxation circuits, it is possible to keep an external programming voltage V pp of 12.5 V. The device achieves a 62-ns access time with a 12-mA operating current. A sense-line equalization and data-out latching scheme, made possible by address transition detection (ATD), and a bit-line bias circuit with two types of depletion load led to the fast access time with high noise immunity. This 16-Mb EPROM has pin compatibility with a standard 16-Mb mask-programmable ROM (MROM) and is operative in either word-wide or byte-wide READ mode. Cell size and chip size are 2.2 μm×1.75 μm and 7.18 mm×17.39 mm, respectively 相似文献

A 20 ns 4-Mb CMOS SRAM operating at a single supply voltage of 3.3 V is described. The fast access time has been achieved by a newly proposed word-decoding architecture and a high-speed sense amplifier combined with the address transition detection (ATD) technique. The RAM has the fast address mode, which achieves quicker than 10-ns access, and the 16-b parallel test mode for the reduction of test time. A 0.6-μm process technology featuring quadruple-polysilicon and double-metal wiring is adopted to integrate more than 16 million transistors in a 8.35-mm×18.0-mm die 相似文献

A BiCMOS logic circuit applicable to sub-2-V digital circuits has been developed. A transiently saturated full-swing BiCMOS (TS-FS-BiCMOS) logic circuit operates twice as fast as CMOS at 1.5-V supply. A newly developed transient-saturation technique, with which bipolar transistors saturate only during switching periods, is the key to sub-2-V operation because a high-speed full-swing operation is achieved to remove the voltage loss due to the base-emitter turn-on voltage. Both small load dependence and small fan-in dependence of gate delay time are attained with this technique. A two-input gate fabricated with 0.3-μm BiCMOS technology verifies the performance advantage of TS-FS-BiCMOS over other BiCMOS circuits and CMOS at sub 2-V supply 相似文献

A 16-ns 1-Mb CMOS EPROM has been developed utilizing high-speed circuit technology and a double-metal process. In order to achieve the fast access time, a differential sensing scheme with address transition detection (ATD) is used. A double-word-line structure is used to reduce word-line delay. High noise immunity is obtained by a bit-line bias circuit and data-latch circuit. Sufficient threshold voltage shift (indispensable for fast access time) is guaranteed by a threshold monitoring program (TMP) scheme. The array is organized as 64 K×16 b, which is suitable for 32-b high-performance microprocessors. The active power is 425 mW, the programming time is 100 μs, and the chip size is 4.94×15.64 mm2 相似文献

A high-speed 2K/spl times/8 bit full CMOS SRAM fabricated with a platinum silicide gate electrode and single-level aluminum technology is described. A typical address access time of 16 ns, which is comparable to the 16-kb bipolar SRAMs, was achieved. Typical active and standby power dissipations are 150 mW and 25 nW, respectively. The platinum silicide word line reduces the total address access time by 25%. A compact cell layout design, as well as a 1.5-/spl mu/m device feature size, also gives fast access time. The properly controlled bit line swing voltage provides reliable and fast readout operation. The chip size of the SRAM is 2.7/spl times/3.5 mm. 相似文献

A 4-Mb high-speed DRAM (HSDRAM) has been developed and fabricated by using 0.7-μm L eff CMOS technology with PMOS arrays inside n -type wells and p-type substrate plate trench cells. The 13.18-mm×6.38-mm chip, organized as either 512 K word×8 b or 1 M word×4 b, achieves a nominal random-access time of 14 ns and a nominal column-access time of 7 ns, with a 3.6-V V cc and provision of address multiplexing. The high level of performance is achieved by using a short-signal-path architecture with center bonding pads and a pulsed sensing scheme with a limited bit-line swing. A fast word-line boosting scheme and a two-stage word-line delay monitor provide fast word-line transition and detection. A new data output circuit, which interfaces a 3.6-V V cc to a 5-V bus with an NMOS-only driver, also contributes to the fast access speed by means of a preconditioning scheme and boosting scheme. Limiting the bit-line voltage swing for bit-line sensing results in a low power dissipation of 300 mW for a 60-ns cycle time 相似文献

We propose a new 2-port SRAM with a single read bit line (SRBL) eight transistors (8 T) memory cell for a 45 nm system-on-a-chip (SoC). Access time tends to be slower as a fabrication is scaled down because of threshold voltage (Vt) random variations. A divided read bit line scheme with shared local amplifier (DBSA) realizes fast access time without increasing area penalty. We also show an additional important issue of a simultaneous read and write (R/W) access at the same row by using DBSA with the SRBL-8T cell. A rise of the storage node causes misreading. A read end detecting replica circuit (RER) and a local read bit line dummy capacitance (LDC) are introduced to solve this issue. A 128 bit lines - 512 word lines 64 kb 2-port SRAM macro using these schemes was fabricated by a 45 nm bulk CMOS low-standby-power (LSTP) CMOS process technology [1]. The memory cell size is 0.597 mum2. This 2-port SRAM macro achieves 7 times faster access time without misreading. 相似文献

A 3 A sink/source G_m-driven CMOS low-dropout regulator(LDO),specially designed for low input voltage and low cost,is presented by utilizing the structure of a current mirror G_m(transconductance)driving technique,which provides high stability as well as a fast load transient response.The proposed LDO was fabricated by a 0.5μm standard CMOS process,and the die size is as small as 1.0 mm~2.The proposed LDO dissipates 220μA of quiescent current in no-load conditions and is able to deliver up to 3 A of load current.The measured results show that the output voltage can be resumed within 2μs with a less than 1mV overshoot and undershoot in the output current step from-1.8 to 1.8 A with a 0.1μs rising and falling time at three 10μF ceramic capacitors. 相似文献

This RAM has been fabricated using triple-polysilicon and single-aluminum CMOS technology with 0.8-/spl mu/m minimum design features. A high-resistive third polysilicon load has been developed to realize a low standby current. In order to obtain a faster access time, a 16-block architecture and a data-output presetting technique combined with address transition detection (ATD) are used. This RAM has a flash-clear function in which logical zeros are written into all memory cells in less than 1 /spl mu/s. 相似文献

A novel sub-1 V CMOS large capacitive-load driver circuit using a direct bootstrap technique for low-voltage CMOS VLSI is reported. For a supply voltage of 1 V, the CMOS large capacitive-load driver circuit using the direct bootstrap technique shows a 3.3 times improvement in switching speed in driving a capacitive load of 2 pF compared to the conventional bootstrapped CMOS driver circuit using an indirect bootstrap technique. Even for a supply voltage of 0.8 V, this CMOS large capacitive load driver circuit using the direct bootstrap technique is still advantageous 相似文献
