  • Abstract
    This report describes a high speed 6T-4C shadow memory design using a word line boosting and a plate line driver boosting. The proposed methods utilize a characteristic of ferroelectric capacitor. The word line and the plate line boosting method respectively reduce 21% write time and 33% plate line charging time.
