Leakage Minimization of SRAM Cells in a Dual-Vt and Dual-Tox Technology
-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...

A robust ultra-low power asynchronous FIFO memory with self-adaptive power control
First-in first-out (FIFO) memories are widely used in SoC for data buffering and flow control. In this paper, a robust ultra-low power asynchronous FIFO memory is proposed. With s...

Fundamental Bounds on Power Reduction during Data-Retention in Standby SRAM
Abstract— We study leakage-power reduction in standby random access memories (SRAMs) during data-retention. An SRAM cell requires a minimum critical supply voltage (DRV) above wh...
