SRAM leakage constitutes a significant portion of the standby power budget of modern SoC products for handheld applications such as PDA and cellular phones. NMOS and PMOS reverse ...
this paper proposes a novel Process Variation Aware SRAM architecture designed to inherently support voltage scaling. The peripheral circuitry of the SRAM is modified to selectivel...
