Embedded 2Mb ReRAM macro with 2.6ns read access time using dynamic-trip-point-mismatch sampling current-mode sense amplifier for IoE applications
2017 Symposium on VLSI Circuits(2017)
摘要
Recent embedded ReRAM has a small resistance-ratio (R-ratio), which results in a small read sensing margin (I
SM
). A larger BL current (I
BL
) increases the input offset (I
OS
) of current-mode sense amplifiers (CSA), resulting in low-yield read operations and long read access times (T
CD
). This work proposes an I
BL
-aware small-I
OS
CSA, using a dynamic trip-point-mismatch sampling (DTPMS) scheme to increase tolerance for small I
SM
and residual BL precharge current (I
PRE
) in order to improve memory yield and speed up T
CD
in cases of small R-ratio. A fabricated 65nm 2Mb ReRAM macro achieved T
CD
=2.6ns at VDD=1V. For the first-time, a ReRAM macro with sub-3ns T
CD
is presented.
