Abstract

A 64kb SRAM array fabricated in 65nm low-power CMOS operates from 250mV to 1.2V. This wide supply range is enabled by a combination of circuits optimized for both sub-V_t and above-V_tregimes. Reconfigurable circuits are used extensively, as low voltage assist circuits are required for functionality, but they must not limit performance during high voltage operation. The SRAM operates at 20kHz with a 250m V supply and 200MHz with a 1.2V supply. Over this range the leakage power scales by more than 50X.
