Power Efficient and Modified Transmission Technology Based Sram Cell for Core Memories
Keywords:
SRAM, IOT applications, Low power, power gating.Abstract
The suggested circuit in this project is designed for IoT applications employing a modified transmission gate based SRAM cell that eliminates the need for peripheral circuitry during read operations. Biomedical systems that operate in the sub-threshold region with near-perfect efficiency require several kB of embedded memory. SRAMs account for 70% of the die area, which means they consume the most power and consume the most silicon. In the read operation, this topology provides a smaller area, less delay, lower power consumption, and better data stability. The SRAM cell is made of 45nm CMOS and runs at 0.45 V.
