Abstract: A bit-cell may include a pair of cross-coupled inverters, a left bit-line, a right bit-line, a word-line and a write-line. The left bit-line may be coupled to a left inverter of the cross-coupled inverters via a left word-line transistor and a left write-line transistor. The right bit-line may be coupled to a right inverter of the cross-coupled inverters via a right word-line transistor and a right write-line transistor. The word-line may be coupled to the gates of the left and right word-line transistors and the write-line may be coupled to the gates of the left and right write-line transistors. A memory device may include a controller, an array of such bit-cells and a differential sensing buffers. Further, a computing device may include a processor and a memory device having the above bit-cells.

Abstract: A Schmitt Trigger (ST) based, fully differential, 10-transistor (10T) SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) bitcell suitable for sub-threshold operation. The Schmitt trigger based bitcell achieves 1.56× higher read static noise margin (SNM) (VDD=400 mV) compared to a conventional 6T cell. The robust Schmitt trigger based memory cell exhibits built-in process variation tolerance that gives tight SNM distribution across the process corners. It utilizes fully differential operation and hence does not require any architectural changes from the present 6T architecture. The 10T bitcell has two cross-coupled Schmitt trigger inverters which each consist of four transistors, including a PMOS transistor and two NMOS transistors in series, and an NMOS feedback transistor which is connected between the inverter output and the junction between the series-connected NMOS transistors. Each inverter has one associated NMOS access transistor.
