A large “write” operating margin, low-power, low leakage power 90-nm CMOS 2K-bit SRAM was fabricated incorporating a newly-developed leakage current reduction circuit called a self-controllable voltage level (SVL) circuit, a DC/DC level converter (DC/DC-C) and a forward bias (FB) circuit. A minimum “write” operating voltage of the developed SRAM was reduced to 0.3 V by the SVL circuit and was 0.4 V smaller than that of an equivalent conventional SRAM. The stand-by leakage power of the developed SRAM was only 0.34 μW, which was 3.4% that of the equivalent conventional SRAM at a VDD of 1.0V. The FB circuit decreased MOSFET threshold voltages (Vts), so that the given operating frequency (fclk) is achieved at lower VD. The DC/DC-C converted VDD=1V to VD=0.8, 0.60, 0.52, 0.38 V that were supplied to the 2K-bit SRAM. The maximum operating “Read” frequencies were 1,022 MHz, 467 MHz, 314 MHz and 85 MHz, respectively and corresponding the dynamic power of the SRAM were 3,992 μW, 1,186 μW, 655 μW and 151 μW, which were 70.9%, 40.8%, 33.4% and 25.2% of the equivalent conventional SRAM at corresponding fmaxs. |
