Abstract :
A fully differential switched-current (SI) memory cell with a new common-mode feedback technique is presented. The cell achieves a lower voltage of operation (Vdd,min=Vt+3Vds,sat ) than that (Vdd,min=2Vt+4Vds,sat) of its conventional counterpart, by using a new common-mode current sensing technique
