  • Abstract
    A new SRAM design is proposed. Body biasing improves the static noise margin (SNM) improved by at least 15% compared to the standard cells. Through using this technique, lowering supply voltage is possible. This SRAM cell is working under 0.3 V supply voltage offering a SNM improvement of 22% for the read cycle. Write Margin is not affected due to using body biasing technique. 65 nm ST models are used for simulations.
