`
`Memory Circuits
`
`In this chapter we look into the design of semiconductor memory circuits [1, 2], in
`particular static random access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random access memory
`(DRAM). These types of memories are termed random access because any bit of data
`can be accessed at any time. A block diagram of a RAM is shown in Fig. 17.1.

`Part II CMOS Digital Circuits
`
`External to the memory array are the row and column logic. The row lines are
`sometimes called word lines, while the column lines are sometimes called bit or digit
`lines. Referring to the row lines, the row address is latched, decoded, and then buffered.
`A particular row line will, when selected, go high. This selects the entire row of the
`array. Since the row line may be long and loaded periodically with the capacitive
`memory cells, a buffer is needed to drive the line. The address is latched with signals
`from the control logic. After a particular row line is selected, the column address is
`used to decode which of the bits from the row are the addressed information. At this
`point, data can be read into or out of the array through the column decoder. The
`majority of this chapter will concentrate on the circuits used to implement a RAM.
`
`17.1 RAM Memory Cells
`
`The memory array is at the center of the RAM design. Examples of DRAM and SRAM
`memory cells are shown in Fig. 17.2. The DRAM memory cell is made up of a pass
`transistor and a storage capacitor, while the CMOS SRAM memory cell
`is a
`cross-coupled connection of inverters. The cross-coupled inverters form a positive
`feedback circuit, forcing the outputs in opposite directions. The basic operation of the
`DRAM memory cell was discussed in Ch. 14.
`
`For the SRAM cell shown in Fig. 17.2, consider the case when the row line
`(word line) is low. Both pass transistors are off, and the datum in the cell is latched, as
`long as power is applied to the cell. When the row line goes high, the pass transistors
`turn on. If the pass transistors, width/length ratio is approximately four times that of
`the SRAM cell transistors' width/length ratio, the data on the bit lines (column lines)
`are written to the cell. If the widths are comparable in size, the effective resistance of
`the pass transistor is too large to allow overwriting the cell.
