Abstract: — Power consumption has become a critical design concern for many VLSI systems. In this proposed system we
use Sense amplifiers are one of the very important peripheral components of CMOS memories. In a Hybrid Sense amplifier
both current and voltage sensing techniques are used which makes it a better selection than a conventional current or
voltage sense amplifiers. To increase the memory density, bit cells used reduce the area. Power consumption and speed is
the important issue to minimize the power value by using cell read and stability value. This paper is also investigating the
read static noise margin, write noise margin and read retention voltage. Tanner EDA tool is also used to observe the
schematic solution. This method will decrease the power consumption and increase the stability of the SRAM cell.
Keywords: SRAM, Power gating, Voltage Sense Amplifier (VSA), Current Sense Amplifier (CSA), Dynamic Stability.
I. INTRODUCTION
In this paper we introduce some design techniques
to reduce the power consumption and increase the stability f
the cell. Each cell contains some transistors. Existing
method we use 6T SRAM cell. Stability of the 6T SRAM
cell is poor. Measuring the cell current by change cell
structure. It will damage the circuit and reduce the stability
and increase the losses. But in this method we accurately
estimate the cell stability of the SRAM cell without
modifying the cell structure. Existing system 32nm devices
are used. The estimation results focused on the random
manner. It will not display the final result. Random
mismatches are occurs in the wafer. As the temperature is
increases stability of the read mode and sleep mode
deceases.
In the proposed method we use the Sense amplifiers
are one of the most essential circuits in the periphery of
CMOS memories. The performance of sense amplifier
affects both memory access time and overall memory power
dissipation. CMOS memories are required to increase speed,
improve capacity and maintain low power dissipation. These
goals are conflicting when it comes to sense amplifier
design. In an integrated circuit a memory is attached to
number of peripherals which would use the contents of the
memory, but the potential developed at the output nodes of
the memory (6T SRAM) is too low to drive the peripheral
circuitry, hence the need of a sense amplifier comes into
picture. It senses a low signal and amplifies it to appropriate
level. But most of the techniques are not directly applied to
the SRAM cell. But this paper estimates the read and writes
stability.
II. BACKGROUND
A. Static Noise Margin
Read static and write noise margin are the extended
definitions of the SNM. These two terms are defined as
the, maximum tolerable noise injected onto the cell.
B. Read Retention Voltage
Supply read retention voltage is highly correlated.
This technique can be used to extracts the cell read stability
without changing the cell structure.6T SRAM cell read
stability requires to sweeping the internal nodes in order to
obtain the voltage transfer curvatures. Large are used to
choose the Supply Read Retention Voltage.
6T SRAM cell structure we use two CMOS
inverter. Word line used to control the circuit. 6T circuit are
contains Pull up and Pull Down transistors. Other two
transistors are called as the access transistors. Voltage
division between the access transistor and driver transistor
read stability to be low during the read operation. Leakage
current is flows through the NMOS transistor. It will increase
the source to supply voltage. More than one transistor is off
means the path between the supply voltage to ground is equal.
