Publication number: 20190228821Abstract: A method for operating an SRAM of an FPGA in a high or low-power mode includes a CRAM of the FPGA storing control bits for controlling whether pages of the SRAM operate in the high or low-power mode. A control circuit of the FPGA uses the control bits, a system clock signal, and address for the pages to determine whether to operate the pages in the high or low-power mode and to control the timing for precharging and tristating read bitlines of the pages for the high and low-power modes. In the high-power mode the read bitlines are precharged longer than in the low-power mode, and in the high-power mode the read bitlines are tristated less than in the low-power mode. Precharging the read bitlines for a lesser time in the low-power mode reduces DC leakage current in the lower power mode compared to the high-power mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2019Publication date: July 25, 2019Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Wei Yee Koay, Rajiv Kumar, Pek Mui Goh, Kuan Cheng Tang, Wei Chieh Wong

Patent number: 9299404Abstract: Integrated circuits with memory cells are provided. The memory cells may be arranged in rows and columns. Each column of memory cells may be coupled to a respective pair of data lines. The data lines may be precharged using precharge circuitry. The precharge circuitry may include n-channel precharge transistors, an equalizer transistor, an isolation transistor, a pull-down transistor, a voltage booster, and control logic. The voltage booster may provide boosted voltage signal for overdriving the n-channel transistors by pulsing a control signal. During first pulse of the control signal, the data lines may be charged up to an intermediate voltage level. During second pulse of the control signal, the data lines may be charged up to a positive power supply voltage level that is greater than the intermediate voltage level. Performing double boosted data line precharge in this way can help reduce leakage and improve memory performance.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Inventors: Chin Ghee Ch'ng, Wei Yee Koay, Eu Geen Chew
