Proficient Static RAM design using Sleepy Keeper Leakage Control Transistor & PT-Decoder for handheld application

Abstract

Due to their large storage capacity and small access time static random access memory (SRAM) has become a vital part in numerous VLSI chips. Low power adequate memory configuration is a standout among the most challenging issues in SRAM design. As the technology node scaling down, leakage power utilization has turned into a noteworthy issue. In this paper a novel power gating technique, namely sleepy keeper leakage control transistor technique (SK-LCT) is proposed for a handheld gadget application. The SRAM architecture has two primary components, specifically SRAM cell and sense amplifier. The proposed SK-LCT technique is applied in both SRAM cell and sense amplifier for a new low power high speed SRAM architecture design. The outline of SRAM architecture utilizing pass transistor decoder (PT-Decoder) gives better outcomes in term of power. Simulation is done using Tanner EDA tool in 180nm technology and the results demonstrate a noteworthy change in leakage power utilization and speed.
