Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The key to improving the performance of the cache system of a single chip processor is to incorporate appropriate varieties of SRAM macros. The configurable organization technique and the automatic timing adjuster help word/bit-flexible configuration of functional units while preserving each organization's performance. In addition, a low Vth MOS transistor is applied to improve access time. To overcome the increase in current leakage due to a low Vth, a back-bias control circuit is also proposed. These techniques in conjunction with a 0.25-um CMOS process make it possible to achieve a 0.9-ns-access, 700-MHz SRAM macros.
