  • Patent number: 7940550
    Abstract: A source-biasing mechanism for leakage reduction in SRAM in which SRAM cells are arranged into a plurality of sectors. In standby mode, the SRAM cells in a sector in the plurality of sectors are deselected and a source-biasing potential is provided to the SRAM cells of the plurality sectors. In working mode, the source-biasing potential provided to the SRAM cells of a selected sector in the plurality of sectors is deactivated and the SRAM cells in a physical row within the selected sector are read while the remaining SRAM cells in the unselected sectors continue to be source-biased. The source-biasing potential provided to the SRAM cells that are in standby mode can be set to different voltages based on the logical state of control signals.

  • Patent number: 7876600
    Abstract: An SRAM and a forming method and a controlling method thereof are provided. The above-mentioned SRAM includes a tracking column, a normal column, a cell voltage control circuit and a cell voltage pull-down circuit. Each of the tracking column and the normal column includes a plurality of memory cells. The cell voltage control circuit is coupled to the tracking column and the normal column for connecting an operation voltage to the two columns before a write operation of the SRAM starts and for disconnecting the operation voltage from the two columns after the write operation starts. The cell voltage pull-down circuit is coupled to the two columns for pulling down the cell voltages of the two columns after the write operation starts and for ceasing pulling down the cell voltage of the normal column when the cell voltage of the tracking column drops down to a predetermined voltage.

  • Publication number: 20110005728
    Abstract: A heat dissipation module comprises a heat pipe forming a condensing section, and a first fin unit and a second fin unit contacting with the condensing section of the heat pipe. The first and second fin units are located neighboring to each other and have different heights. The first and second fin units each comprise a plurality of fins stacked together. A protruding member protrudes from one of the fins of one of the first and second fin units to abut a corresponding neighboring one of the fins of the other one of the first and second fin units, to thereby separate the first fin unit and the second fin unit to limit relative movement of the first fin unit and the second fin unit in a protruding direction of the protruding member.
