摘要
A new analytical model of MOS SRAM ceh stability is presented as the measure of cell stability in low-voltage operation. The model individually deals with transistor parameters together with parasitic resistance in the cell, Mutual effects of cell-parameter variation on the lower limit of supply voltage is clarified for the first time. The V-CCmin's of a conventional cell and a split wordline (SWL) cell are evaluated under the consideration of fabricated ceh patterns, and superiority of the SWL cell is shown. This superiority is mainly attributed to its simple layout of the MOSFET's in the cell rather than its symmetrical layout.
