    Abstract: A gain cell includes a write bit line input, a read bit line output, a write trigger input and a read trigger input. The gain cell also includes a write transistor, retention element and read transistor. Each of the transistors includes a respective first diffusion connection, gate connection and second diffusion connection. The write transistor first diffusion connection is connected to the write bit line input and the write transistor gate connection is connected to the write trigger input. The read transistor first diffusion connection being connected to the read bit line output and the second diffusion connection is connected to the read trigger input. The retention element buffers between write transistor and the read transistor during data retention. The retention element also connects or disconnects a write transistor diffusion connection to/from a constant voltage in accordance with a retained data level at the read transistor gate connection.

    Abstract: A method of designing a logic circuit with data-dependent delays is performed using an electronic design automation system. The logic circuit includes logic paths from logic inputs to at least one logic output. The method includes: obtaining an initial circuit design; specifying respective delays for multiple logic paths in the initial circuit design such that at least some of the outputs switch at different times within a clock cycle for different combinations of logic input levels; and forming a second circuit design having the specified respective delays along the respective logic paths by adding delay elements to the initial circuit design based on the specified respective delays.

    Abstract: A high-density memory includes: a data write interface, a data read interface, an array of memory cells and level-shifting write drivers. The data write interface inputs data written to the memory. The data read interface outputs data read from the memory. The array of memory cells stores data input at the data write interface and outputs stored data to the data read interface. Each of the memory cells includes at least one low threshold voltage (LVT) read transistor and at least one respective regular threshold voltage (RVT) transistor, so as to obtain high-speed read operations. The level-shifting write drivers supply shifted write wordline voltages to the array, so as to obtain high-speed write operations.

    Abstract: A FinFET gain cell includes a write port, read port and storage node. The write port includes at least one write FinFET transistor and has write word-line (WWL) and write bit-line (WBL) inputs. The read port includes at least one FinFET read transistor and has a read word-line (RWL) input and a read bit-line (RBL) output. The storage node stores a data level written from said WBL. The storage nodes includes a single layer interconnect which connects the write port output diffusion connection to the read port input gate connection. The height of the single layer interconnect at the write port output diffusion connection is different from the height of the single layer interconnect at the read port input gate connection.

    Abstract: A randomization element includes a logic input for inputting a logic signal, a logic output for outputting the input logic signal at a delay and a randomization element. The randomization elements introduces the delay between said logic input and said logic output and operates selectably in static mode and in dynamic mode in accordance with a mode control signal. A logic circuit may be formed with randomization elements interspersed amongst the logic gates, to obtain protection against side channel attacks by inputting a selected control sequence into the randomization elements.
