Patent number: 7113445Abstract: A multi-port memory cell (200) can be formed from seven transistors. Single ended write operations can be performed without a boosted word line voltage or variable power supply. A data value (D/DB) stored in the memory cell (200) can be cleared by shorting complementary data nodes (204-0 and 204-1) together. Write data can then be placed on a bit line. Complementary data nodes (204-0 and 204-1) can then be isolated once again, resulting in the write data being latched within the memory cell (300). An access method (700) for a multi-port memory cell is also described.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2004Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Sanjay Sancheti, Jeffery Scott Hunt, George M.
