Abstract :
For future Systems on Chip (SoC) in deep submicron technologies, digital libraries as well as ROM and SRAM memories have to be designed to work at very low supply voltages and to be very robust while considering wire delays, signal input slopes, noise and crosstalk effects. New approaches are presented, such as libraries based on a limited set of standard cells and SRAM with split-bitlines and new asymmetrical RAM cells
