5 Consider (5T SRAM)! How should we size the devices for read and write without faults? Reminder: Charge Sharing! Initially " V " V! Q A =V*C=C Close switch! Q tot =V final *(C+C)! Charge conservation " Q A =Q tot! C=V final *(C+C) V final = C C+ C Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 5 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 6 Consider! Read: What happens to voltage at A when turns from #? " Assume W access large " W access >> W pu = " initially " A initially Voltage After enable Word Line! Q =! Q A = (V)(γ(+W access )C )! ff=c >>C A =(γ(+w access )C )! After enable W access (W access large) " Total charge Q +Q A unchanged " Charge conservation " Distributed over larger capacitance~=c " V A =V ~= C A /C C V final = C+ C Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 7 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 8 Simulation: W access = Larger Resistance?! What happens if W access small? " W access < W pu Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 9 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 3 5
6 Larger Resistance? Simulation! What happens if W access small? " W access < W pu! Takes time to move charge from A to! Moves more slowly than replenished by W pu Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 3 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 3 Charge Sharing Consider (5T SRAM)! Conclude: charge sharing can pull down voltage! What happens to voltage at A when reading " I.e when turns from #? " Assume W access large " Bit cell stores a " A initially " precharged to " B initially Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 33 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 34 Simulation W access = Simulation W access =4 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 35 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 36 6
7 Charge Sharing How might we avoid?! Conclude: charge sharing can lead to read upset " Charge redistribution adequate to flip state of bit Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 37 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 38 Charge to middle Voltage Simulation W access =! Pre-charge bitlines to V dd / before begin read operation! Now charge sharing doesn t swing to opposite side of midpoint Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 39 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 4 Compare Simulation W access = (precharge Vdd/, reading )! Both W access =; vary precharge voltage Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 4 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 4 7
8 Simulation W access = (with precharge Vdd/) Pre-Charge V dd / Reference! Use one phase of clock to charge a node to some initial value before operation Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 43 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 44 Multiple Ports Dual-Ported SRAM! We have considered single-ported SRAM " One read or one write on each cycle! Multiported SRAM are needed for register files! Examples: " Pipelined ALU register file: " add r,r,r3 " R3$R+R " Requires two reads and one write! Simple dual-ported SRAM " Two independent single-ended reads " Or one differential write worda wordb bit bit_b Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 45 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 46 Dual-Ported SRAM Multi-Ported SRAM! Simple dual-ported SRAM " Two independent single-ended reads " Or one differential write! Adding more access transistors hurts read stability! Multiported SRAM isolates reads from state node! Single-ended bitlines save area worda wordb bit bit_b! Do two reads and one write by time multiplexing " Read during ph, write during ph Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 47 Penn ESE 37 Fall 8 - Khanna 48 8
9 DRAM 3-Transistor DRAM Cell! Smaller than SRAM! Require data refresh to compensate for leakage W W R R M X M3 M X -VT C S -VT ΔV No constraints on device ratios Reads are non-destructive Value stored at node X when writing a = V W-V Tn 49 -Transistor DRAM Cell DRAM Cell Observations C M C S X GND / C ΔV V V ( PRE V BIT V ) S = = PRE C S + C Write "" Read "" V T sensing / Write: CS is charged or discharged by asserting and. Read: Charge redistribution takes places between bit line and storage capacitance Voltage swing is small; typically around 5 mv.! T DRAM requires a sense amplifier for each bit line, due to charge redistribution read-out! DRAM memory cells are single ended in contrast to SRAM cells! The read-out of the T DRAM cell is destructive " Read and refresh operations are necessary for correct operation! Unlike 3T cell, T cell requires presence of an extra capacitance that must be explicitly included in the design! When writing a into a DRAM cell, a threshold voltage is lost " This charge loss can be circumvented by bootstrapping the word lines to a higher value than Memory Periphery Array Architecture! n words of m bits each!

Very high density if good cells are used Array Architecture! n words of m bits each! Good regularity easy to design! Very high density if good cells are used Decoders 57 Decoders Large Decoders! n: n decoder consists of n n-input AND gates! For n > 4, NAND gates become slow " One output needed for each row of memory " Break large gates into multiple smaller gates " Build AND from NAND or NOR gates A3 A A A Static CMOS word A A word word word 8 word word3 word A 4 A word word3 word5 59 6

Precharge bitlines high before reads! Precharge bitlines high before reads bit φ bit_b bit φ bit_b! What if pre-charged to Vdd/? " Pros: reduces read-upset " Challenge: generate Vdd/ voltage on chip! What if pre-charged to Vdd/? " Pros: reduces read-upset " Challenge: generate Vdd/ voltage on chip 69 7 Voltage Midpoint Reference Generator Sense Amplifiers! The inverter with input and output tied together settles to the midpoint of the transfer curve where the input and output are equal! The second inverter is driven to the same point. It helps isolate the output from the reference. The pass gate allows you to connect or disconnect this reference voltage to a node.! Bitlines have many cells attached " Ex: 3-kbit SRAM has 8 rows x 56 cols " 8 cells on each bitline! t pd (C/I) ΔV " Even with shared diffusion contacts, 64C of diffusion capacitance (big C) " Discharged slowly through small transistors in each memory cell (small I)! Sense amplifiers are triggered on small voltage swing V (ΔV) V() V PRE ΔV V() 7 Sense amp activated Word line activated t 7
