  • Cache memory
    Patent number: 8068381
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cache memory, and more particularly to a cache memory, in which a word-line voltage control logic unit and a word-line driver are added as a logic circuit between a row decoder and a word line, so that a reinforcement voltage signal having a higher level than a basic voltage signal can be applied when accessing the word line corresponding to an access time failure, thereby decreasing an access time delay in the word line in order to minimize an access failure to the cache memory due to process variation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2011
    Assignee: Korea University Research and Business Foundation
