Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on circuit techniques for low power embedded memories. Nearly all embedded applications require on-chip memory, but the requirements for these embedded memories vary significantly across applications. For many embedded designs, reducing power is a key design concern. A variety of circuit approaches have emerged to meet low power needs for memory blocks.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- reducing Vmin for low power memory
- circuits and architectures for embedded DRAM
- alternative bit cells for low power SRAM
- sub-threshold memory arrays
- low power non volatile memory technologies and circuits
- circuit assist features for low power
- charge recycling in RAMs
- low power periphery (sense amplifiers, decoders, etc.)
- effects of variability on low power RAM
