    Abstract: A tunable voltage-controlled pseudo-resistor structure, comprising: a symmetric PMOS transistor circuit and an auto-tuning circuit connected in series. Input of the auto-tuning circuit is connected to a central position Vf of the PMOS transistor circuit having its output Vg, with its purpose of keeping Vg?Vf at a constant value. The PMOS transistor circuit may produce body effect through various different bulk voltages. Through the auto-tuning circuit, Vg and Vf are kept constant to make current of transistor to produce compensation effect, such that regardless of Va>Vb or Va<Vb, a large resistance is maintained. Through utilizing the tunable voltage-controlled pseudo-resistor structure, constant resistance can be maintained under high input voltage, hereby reducing drifting of common-mode voltage, in achieving a superior resistance effect.

  • Patent number: 8009462
    Abstract: A SRAM architecture includes a read/write control signal, a read/write control transistor block, an equalize transistor block, a 6-T SRAM cell, a sense amplifier block, a column selection transistor block and a write driver. The 6-T SRAM cell can store and write data. The sense amplifier block is used to read out the data stored in the 6-T SRAM cell correctly when the SRAM architecture performs a read operation and makes bit lines BL (bit line) and BLB( bitline) produce a minimum voltage difference. The column selection transistor block is used to select a column that the data is written in and read out. The write driver is used to perform a write operation to the 6-T SRAM cell of the column. The SRAM architecture can effectively increase the read SNM and dramatically reduce the power consumption.
