Abstract: The present patent application describes 9T, 8T, and 7T versions of bitcells used with 1R1W memories. It also describes 9T, 8T, and 7T versions of bitcells used with single port SRAM memories. Different circuits are discussed to support different bitcells and architectures mentioned above. Our 1R1W and single port bitcells and architectures give significant advantages over the conventional bitcells and architectures.

Abstract: A 6T bitcell for single port SRAM that performs single ended read and single ended write is described. The presently described bitcell gives huge advantage in terms of area, dynamic power, leakage power and performance over the prior art in the industry. The bitcell and architecture does not have either a write bitline pair or a read bitline for each bitcell. It has only one read bitline per mux.

Abstract: A bit cell and memory architecture wherein a write bitline is not required is presented. The bitcell and the memory architecture bring a huge improvement in the performance, dynamic power, leakage power, area, and the yield of the memory.

Abstract: Described herein is a 6T bitcell for dual port SRAM that performs single ended read and single ended write. The bitcell and architecture does not have either a write bitline pair or a read bitline for each bitcell. It has only one read bitline per port per mux. Also presented herein is an 8T bitcell for dual port with single ended read and single ended write. The conventional dual port bitcell is an 8T bitcell which neither has single ended read nor has single ended write. Our bitcell which gives single ended read as well as single ended write has just 6 transistors. This gives area advantage. This bitcell also provides huge advantage in terms of leakage power, dynamic power, and speed. Also presented bitcells and architectures for multiport memories where each additional port, only requires half or one additional transistor based on the chosen architecture as against two transistors in the conventional architectures.
