    Abstract: A MOS IC includes first and second sets of adjacent transistor logic, each of which include collinear gate interconnects extending in a first direction with the same gate pitch. The first set of transistor logic has a first cell height h1 and a first number of Mx layer tracks that extend unidirectionally in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The second set of transistor logic has a second cell height h2 and a second number of Mx layer tracks that extend unidirectionally in the second direction, where h2>h1 and the second number of Mx layer tracks is greater than the first number of Mx layer tracks. At least one of a height ratio hR=h2/h1 is a non-integer value or a subset of the first set of transistor logic and a subset of the second set of transistor logic are within one logic cell.

    Abstract: The apparatus may include a first latch configured to store a first state or a second state. The first latch may have a first latch input, one of a set input or a reset input, a first pulse clock input, and a first latch output. The first latch input may be coupled to a fixed logic value. The one of the set input or the reset input may be coupled to a clock signal or an inverted clock signal, respectively. The apparatus may include an AND gate having a first AND gate input, a second AND gate input, and a first AND gate output. The clock signal may be coupled to the first AND gate input. The first latch output may be coupled to the second AND gate input. The AND gate output may be configured to output a pulsed clock. The pulsed clock may be coupled to the first pulse clock input.

    Abstract: A charge-transfer transistor couples between a bit line and a sense node for a sense amplifier. During a read operation, a charge-transfer driver drives a gate voltage of the charge-transfer transistor to control whether the charge-transfer transistor conducts during a charge-transfer period. Prior to the charge-transfer period, a bitcell is coupled to the bit line to drive a bitcell-effected voltage on to the bit line. The charge-transfer driver drives the gate voltage such that the charge-transfer transistor only conducts when the bitcell-effected voltage equals a pre-charge voltage for the bit line.
