Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The power consumption of a low-power SoC has a battery life of mobile appliances. The general SoCs have large on-chip SRAMs, which consume a large proportion of whole LSI power. For realizing a low-power SoC, we have developed embedded SRAM modules, which use writing margin expanding technique, process variation adaptive writing replica circuit and reducing leakage current technique. These low-power techniques enable the SRAM modules to achieve low active and low standby power consumption.
