Design of Low Power Sram Memory Using 8t Sram CellKeywords: CMOS logic , SRAM , VLSI , Read-Static Noise Margin (SNM) , Stability and Power Consumption. Abstract: Low power design has become the major challenge of present chip designs as leakage power has been rising with scaling of technologies. As modern technology is spreading fast, it is very important to design low power, high performance, and fast responding SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) since they are critical component in high performance processors. The Conventional 6T SRAM cell is very much prone to noise during read operation. To overcome the problems in 6T SRAM cell, researchers have proposed different SRAM topologies such as 8T, 9T, 10T etc. bitcell design. These designs can improve the cell stability but suffer from bitline leakage noise. In this paper, an SRAM memory has been designed to overcome power consumption problem. It also improves the Cell stability by increasing the Read Static-Noise-Margin.
