摘要: A new scheme to reduce the power consumption of static random access memories is presented. It shown that using segmented virtual grounding (SVGND), it possible both dynamic and consumption. The leakage cells reduced by reducing voltage drop over a cell. dissipation also eliminating due discharge nondesired neighboring bitlines. effectiveness this compared recently reported low-power schemes. unlike those schemes, SVGND can accommodate multiple words in one row; significant improvement soft error rate tolerance
