System and method for performing SRAM write assist
A method and a system are provided for performing write assist. Write assist circuitry is initialized and voltage collapse is initiated to reduce a column supply voltage provided to a storage cell. A bitline of the storage cell is boosted to a boosted voltage level that is below a low supply voltage...

Zusammenfassung: | A method and a system are provided for performing write assist. Write assist circuitry is initialized and voltage collapse is initiated to reduce a column supply voltage provided to a storage cell. A bitline of the storage cell is boosted to a boosted voltage level that is below a low supply voltage provided to the storage cell and data encoded by the bitline is written to the storage cell. |
