  • Abstract
    We present both simulation results and test-chip measurements on the effect of power supply noise on SRAM dynamic cell stability. Results indicate that to accurately capture the effect of supply droop on bit failure rate, not only the DC amplitude of the noise needs to be considered as commonly practiced, but also its phase and frequency.
