  • Channel hot carrier tolerant tracking circuit for signal development on a memory SRAM
    Patent number: 8942049
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention discloses an electronic device for reducing degradation in NMOS circuits in a tracking circuit. A first multiplexer selects, based on N bits from a row address in a memory array, which tracking circuit from a group of 2N tracking circuits will be used to provide a signal develop time for a memory cell in the memory array using a dummy word line signal. A second multiplexer selects, based on the N bits from the row address for a memory array, which output from the tracking circuits is used to enable the sense amp enable signal.
    Type: Grant
