Very Small Swing High Performance Cmos Static Memory (Multi-Port Register File) With Power Reducing Column Multiplexing Scheme

View page
US Patent:
6519204, Feb 11, 2003
Filed:
Sep 27, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/964971
Inventors:
Mark Slamowitz - Chandler AZ
Douglas D. Smith - Mesa AZ
David W. Knebelsberger - Tempe AZ
Gregory Djaja - Phoenix AZ
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
G11C 800
US Classification:
36523005, 365154
Abstract:
Devices and methods relating to a multi-port register file memory including a plurality of storage elements in columns are disclosed. The storage elements are arranged in rows and columns and store data. At least one read port is coupled to each of the storage elements and a sensing device is coupled to the read port. The read port is coupled to the storage elements in an isolated manner, enabling a plurality of cells to be arranged in such rows and columns. The sensing device is adapted to sense a small voltage swing. A pair of series transistors coupled together act as the read port while a column mux circuit is coupled to each column and the sensing device. The sensing device includes two inverters comprising input offset and gain stages. An offset device biases the local bitlines at a voltage close to the sense amplifier trip point.

US Patent:
6639866, Oct 28, 2003
Filed:
Nov 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/012858
Inventors:
Mark Slamowitz - Chandler AZ
Douglas D. Smith - Mesa AZ
David W. Knebelsberger - Tempe AZ
Myron Buer - Gilbert AZ
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
G11C 800
US Classification:
36523005, 365154, 36518907, 365207
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-port register file memory or SRAM including a plurality of storage elements and other circuitry that operate synchronously or asynchronously. The storage elements are arranged in rows and columns and store data. Two read port pairs are coupled to each of the storage elements and a differential sensing device or circuit. The read port is coupled to the storage elements in an isolated manner, enabling a plurality of cells to be arranged in such rows and columns. The sensing device is adapted to sense a small voltage swing. A column mux circuit is coupled to each column and the sensing device. Performance is not degraded unusually as the power supply voltage is reduced due to bus drop or inductive effects.

7251175, Jul 31, 2007
Filed:
Nov 23, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/996140
Inventors:
Mark Slamowitz - Chandler AZ, US
Douglas D. Smith - Mesa AZ, US
David W. Knebelsberger - Tempe AZ, US
Myron Buer - Gilbert AZ, US
Assignee:
Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
G11C 7/06
US Classification:
365207, 365154, 36523005
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-port register file memory or SRAM including a plurality of storage elements and other circuitry that operate synchronously or asynchronously, and a method of making the multi-port register file memory. The storage elements are arranged in N rows and M columns and store data, each column having at least one output channel or circuit. Two read port pairs are coupled to each of the storage elements and a plurality of differential sensing devices or circuits. The read port is coupled to the storage elements in an isolated manner, enabling a plurality of cells to be arranged in such rows and columns. The sensing device is adapted to sense a small voltage swing. A column mux circuit is coupled to each column and at least one of the sensing device. The method of forming the multi-port register file memory comprises determining the number of storage elements and arranging the storage elements in the N rows and M columns, each column having an output channel.
