ISSCC 2015 / SESSION 17 / EMBEDDED MEMORY AND DRAM I / O / 17 . 1 17 . 1 A 0 . 6 V 1 . 5 GHz 84 Mb SRAM

The growth of battery-powered mobile and wearable devices has increased the importance of low-power operation and cost in system-on-a-chip (SoC) design. Supply-voltage scaling is the predominant approach to active power reduction for SoC design, including voltage scaling for on-die memory given increasing levels of memory integration. SRAM can limit the minimum operating voltage (VMIN) of a des...
