Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Low-power circuit techniques suitable for sequential access memories are described. Two-port memory cells using PMOS transfer gates for read port and look-ahead-controlled bitline pull-up's reduce the power dissipation with no access-time penalty. The memory array architecture limiting the number of memory cells linked on write-port bitlines enables to remove the pull-up MOSFET's statically consuming electric power. The low power dissipation of 56-mW at 140-MHz operation was demonstrated by a first-in first-out memory (2K-word X 8-bit organization) fabricated with a 0.5-um CMOS process.
