  • Patent number: 8385149
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a gate oxide breakdown-withstanding power switch structure, which is connected with an SRAM and comprises a first CMOS switch and a second CMOS switch respectively having different gate-oxide thicknesses or different threshold voltages. The CMOS switch, which has a normal gate-oxide thickness or a normal threshold voltage, provides current for the SRAM to wake up the SRAM from a standby or sleep mode to an active mode. The CMOS switch, which has a thicker gate-oxide thickness or a higher threshold voltage, provides current for the SRAM to work in an active mode. The present invention prevents a power switch from gate-oxide breakdown lest noise margin, stabilization and performance of SRAM be affected.
