Abstract :
A highly-integrated 88-kb two-way set associative cache tag memory fabricated using 0.8-μm BiCMOS technology has been developed. The device integrates two 8 K×5 RAMs for tag and parity storage, one 8 K×1 least recently used (LRU) RAM, and the associated cache interface control logic. The die area is 4.9 mm×6.9 mm. Address to MATCH delay is 10 ns, and all three RAM cells can be reset in less than 8 ns. In addition, active power consumption is less than 750 mW at 5 V
