Static Write Margin and Power for 6T & 7T SRAM Cell: A Comparison
نویسندگان
چکیده
SRAM cell read stability and write-ability are major concerns in CMOS technologies, due to the progressive increase in VDD and transistor scaling. In this paper, we studied and comparedthe performance of 7TN (with NMOS access transistor), 7TP (with PMOS access transistor) andconventional 6T structure.SRAM cells have been simulated in SPICE with 0.35 μm technology. The techniques that provide the highest data stability, the lowest power consumption, and the smalllayout area are identified. Both 7TN and 7TP cell provides higher write stability as compare to 6T SRAM cell (around 24% increase in SWM). Voltage swing of 7T is large than 6T. 7TN SRAM shows 51% power reduction and 7TP cell shows 62% ( write and read ‘1’) power saving as compare to conventional 6T. Keywords– CMOS, static random access memory (SRAM), static write margin (SWM), bit line (BL), write-read (WR).

Analysis of Leakage Current and SNM For 7T SRAM Cell in Nanometre Era
: In the microprocessors world SRAM play a vital role, but as the technology is scaling in nanometer, leakage current and leakage power both are the most known problems for SRAM cells in low power applications. More than 40% of the total power of the SRAM is waste due to the leakage through transistor. This paper compares the working, performance and results of two different SRAM topologies; a ...
متن کاملA Novel 8T SRAM Cell with Improved Read and Write Margins
A highly stable 8T SRAM cell is presented to improve the Static Noise Margin (SNM). The proposed 8T SRAM cell uses a single-bit line structure to perform read and write operation. The design enhances the write ability by breaking-up the feedback loop of the inverter pair. It also improves the read stability by eliminating the effects from the bit-line. The simulations show that the proposed 8T ...
