The extent to which the 6T SRAM bit cell can be perpetuated through continued scaling is of enormous technological and economic importance. Understanding the growing limitations i...
It is well known that SRAM constitutes a large portion of modern integrated circuits, with 80% or more of the total transistors being dedicated to SRAM in a typical processor or S...

We present an error-tolerant SRAM design optimized for ultra-low standby power. Using SRAM cell optimization techniques, the maximum data retention voltage (DRV) of a 90nm 26kb SR...
This paper describes a novel memory hierarchy and line-pixel-lookahead (LPL) for an H.264/AVC video decoder. The memory system is the bottleneck of most video processors, particula...
Process-induced variations and sub-threshold leakage in bulk-Si technology limit the scaling of SRAM into sub-32 nm nodes. New device architectures are being considered to improve ...
