EF_SRAM_1024x32

Overview

This is a 1024 words by 32 bits commercial grade low power embedded Single Port Synchronous (flow through) SRAM in SKY130 technology. An active high read-write enable signal controls the read/write operation of the memory. When bit-enable is high and readwrite enable is low, data on the data input pin is written into the memory location addressed by the address present on the address pins. Reading the device is accomplished while read-write enable is high. Under these conditions, the contents of the location addressed by the information on address lines is present on the data output pin. In write cycle, data to be written is driven onto data output pin. If there is no read or write, while memory is enabled, data output pin will hold previous data.

Memory dimesions in SKY130 technology: 387.870 um x 303.315 um = 0.118 mm^2^

Pin Description

NAME TYPE DIRECTION DESCRIPTION
AD [9:0] CMOS IN This input value selects the location to be read during a read cycle, and the location to be written during a write cycle. It is sampled on rising edge of clock.
R_WB CMOS IN This is the read/write control and sampled on rising edge of clock. When R_WB is high, the memory is in a read cycle mode. When R_WB is low, the memory is in write cycle mode.
CLKin CMOS IN Clock synchronizes the operations of the memory. All inputs are sampled on rising edge of clock.
BEN [31:0] CMOS IN Each bit of the BEN bus selects one bit of the DI bus. When one or more BEN inputs are high (active), and R_WB is low (write enabled) then the selected bits will be written into the memory.
DI [31:0] CMOS IN This data is written into the memory location selected by addr inputduring the write cycle. It is ignored during a read cycle.
EN CMOS IN EN (Chip Enable) is high (and TM low), read and write operation is performed.
TM CMOS IN When TM (Testmode)is high, memory is in testmode and normal memory operation is disabled. Inputs are tied to outputs through scan chain logic.
SM CMOS IN When SM (Scan chain control) is high, output of a input register is passed to next register. When low, input register receives input from input pin.
WLBI CMOS IN Wafer Level Burn-In Test mode control: When high, all wordlines are ON.
WLOFF CMOS IN Normal operation when low. All wordlines are clamped to vnb when high.
ScanInCC CMOS IN Input to Address and Control scan chain. ScanInDL
ScanInDL CMOS IN Input to Data scan chain (left side of the macro).
ScanInDR CMOS IN Input to Data scan chain (right side of the macro).
DO [31:0] CMOS OUT Data from the memory location selected by address is driven onto DO during a read cycle. In a write cycle, data to be written is driven onto DO. If there is no read or write, while memory is enabled, DO will hold previous data.
ScanOutCC CMOS OUT Output of Scan Chain of address and control pins. Note - DO is output of scan chain of data input pins.

vpwra Supply IN Nominal 1.8 power supply to memory array
vpwrp Supply IN Nominal 1.8 power supply to periphery
vpwrac Supply IN Connect vpwrac to core power supply vpwra
