  • Method and system to lower the minimum operating voltage of register files
    Patent number: 8320203
    Abstract: A method and system to lower the minimum operating voltage of a register file without increasing the area of each bit cell of the register file. In one embodiment of the invention, the register file is coupled to logic that reduces the contention between the NMOS devices and the PMOS devices in each bit cell of the register file during write and/or read operations of the register file. By doing so, the register file is able to operate at a lower minimum operating voltage.
