In this paper a low power SRAM design is presented. Existing SRAM architectures used in SGS Thomson were studied to explore the possibilities in bringing down power dissipation in various blocks. A Divided word line (DWL) scheme was implemented. Particular emphasis was put to reduce power consumption in decoders. A new critical path model was introduced for schematic simulation. This lowered the simulation time considerably. Simulation results confirmed the effectiveness of our approach.
