  • Publication number: 20230402921
    Abstract: An adjustable voltage regulator circuit, including a voltage conversion circuit, a voltage conversion controller, and a clock generator, is provided. The voltage conversion circuit receives an input voltage to generate an output voltage. The voltage conversion controller detects the output voltage, compares the output voltage with a reference voltage value, and outputs an enable signal based on a comparison result to control the voltage conversion circuit to adjust the output voltage. The clock generator generates a first clock signal and a second clock signal to respectively drive the voltage conversion circuit and the voltage conversion controller. The voltage conversion controller adjusts the enable signal to gradually adjust the output voltage to a predetermined voltage range.

  • Publication number: 20230215492
    Abstract: A static random-access memory (SRAM) circuit and associated read operation method and write operation method are provided. The SRAM circuit includes memory units arranged in M columns and N rows, M bit lines, N row-voltage selection lines, N word lines, and a control circuit. The control circuit includes a controller, a voltage source, a voltage selection module, a word-line driving module, and a bit-line driving module. The voltage source provides a first voltage and a second voltage. When the control circuit performs access to the memory unit located in the mth column and the nth row, the voltage selection module transmits one of the first voltage and the second voltage to an nth row-voltage selection line. The voltage selection module transmits the second voltage to the other (N-1) row-voltage selection lines. The variables M, N, m, and n are positive integers.
