With the increasingly larger amounts of memory deployed in low power applications, it is critical to apply power-saving techniques to the memory in order to achieve system power goals. Three key ...

These are various forms of local, on-chip memory. Except for the DRAM. 4T (4 transistor) SRAM takes up 4 times the space that regular DRAM does 1T-SRAM seems to be a hybrid of DRAM that allows for ...

Today's wireless chip designers face a myriad of challenges in meeting the ever-expanding feature requirements of high-technology products while being constrained by power limitations imposed by ...

SRAM cells are designed to ensure that the contents of the cell are not altered during read access and the cell can quickly change its state during write operation. These conflicting requirements for ...

RAM, i.e., “random access memory,” is a commonly interchanged term for “volatile memory,” i.e., memory that loses its stored data when power is removed. Yet RAM is not an acronym with which I'm ...

Chipmakers face a multitude of challenges at the 20nm logic node and beyond, including the task of cramming more functions on the same chip without compromising on power and performance. There is one ...
