A low power charge-recycling ROM architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new low power charge recycling ROM (CR-ROM) architecture is proposed. The CR-ROM uses charge-recycling method [4] in bit lines of ROM to save the power consumption. About 90% of the total power used in the ROM is consumed in bit lines [1]. With the proposed method, power consumption in ROM bit lines can be reduced asymptotically to zero if the number of bit lines is infinite and the sense amplifiers detect infinitely small voltage difference. However, the real sense amplifiers cannot sense very small voltage difference. Therefore, reduction of power consumption is limited. The simulation results show that the CR-ROM only consumes 13% ~ 78% of the conventional low power contact programming mask ROM [1].

Low Dropout Based Noise Minimization of Active Mode Power Gated Circuit
Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...
متن کاملA low power charge sharing ROM using dummy bit lines
This paper proposes a shared-capacitor charge-sharing ROM (SCCS-ROM). The SCCS-ROM reduces the swing voltage using the charge-sharing technique of the charge-sharing ROM (CSROM) [4]. Although the CS-ROM needs three small capacitors per output, the SCCS-ROM shares the capacitors so that it needs only three capacitors. The SCCS-ROM implements the capacitors using dummy bit lines. This not only in...
