Memory leakage and data retention control

Memory leakage and data retention control

A circuit with leakage and data retention control includes at least one memory cell in a first memory array. The at least one memory cell is coupled to a first power supply voltage and a virtual ground. The circuit includes a current source and an NMOS transistor. The drain of the NMOS transistor is...

Zusammenfassung:A circuit with leakage and data retention control includes at least one memory cell in a first memory array. The at least one memory cell is coupled to a first power supply voltage and a virtual ground. The circuit includes a current source and an NMOS transistor. The drain of the NMOS transistor is coupled to the virtual ground and the gate of the NMOS transistor is coupled to the current source.
