Abstract :
A 6-stage fully pipelined embedded SRAM is implemented in a 90nm SOI technology. The array uses a conventional 6-transistor memory cell and sense amplifier to achieve the cycle time while minimizing the impact of device variation. A sum-addressed pre-decoder allows partial activation for power savings.
