    摘要: A memory cell arrangement of SRAM cell groups may be provided in which in each of the groups multiple SRAM cells are connected to an input of a local read amplifier by at least one common local bit-line. Outputs of the amplifiers are connected to a shared global bit-line. The global bit-line is connected to a pre-charge circuit, and the pre-charge circuit is adapted for pre-charging the global bit-line with a programmable pre-charge voltage before reading data. The pre-charge circuit comprises a limiter circuit which comprises a pre-charge regulator circuit connected to the global bit-line to pre-charge the global bit-line with the programmable pre-charge voltage, and an evaluation and translation circuit connected to the pre-charge regulator circuit and the global bit-line to compensate leakage current of the global bit-line without changing its voltage level.

    摘要: Techniques for generating a layout of a multi-port memory cell are provided. A specification describing at least on port within a memory cell is defined. A base memory cell including at least one extension point is modeled. A port that interfaces with the base memory cell is identified from the specification. An electrical interface between the identified port and an extension point of the base memory cell is modeled. In some embodiments, a design bucket is selected from among a predefined set of design buckets based on a count of ports within the memory cell, as described by the specification. Each design bucket corresponding to a respective layout template including the base memory cell and a respective maximum count of ports. Each electrical interface including a port described in the specification of the memory cell is modeled based on the selected design bucket and the respective layout template.
