A 25 ns 64K static RAM

A high-performance 64K/spl times/1-bit CMOS SRAM is described. The RAM has an access time of 25 ns with active power of 350 mW and standby power of 15 mW. The access time has been obtained by using a 1.5 /spl mu/m rule CMOS process, advanced double-level A1 interconnection technology, an equalizer circuit, and a digit line sense amplifier that is the first sense amplifier directly connected to digit lines. The WRITE recovery circuit is effective in improving WRITE characteristics, and a block selecting circuit was used for low power dissipation.
