A novel MTCMOS based 8T2M NVSRAM design for low power applications with high temperature endurance

Abstract

Abstract This research investigates, for the first time, a novel eight-transistor-two-memristor (8T2M) nonvolatile static random access memory (NVSRAM) with 7-nm technology. The key innovation in this design lies in the incorporation of multiple-threshold complementary metal oxide semiconductor (MTCMOS) technology with power gating technique, which enables efficient power management and enhanced performance with low leakage current. The implementation of multiple threshold voltage levels allows for dynamic control of transistor behavior, optimizing power consumption and read/write speeds. As compared to a traditional six-transistor (6T) static random access memory (SRAM) cell, it has been ascertained that there is a 33% enhancement in the read margin and an 18% improvement in the write margin. Moreover, the delay for read, write ‘0’ and write ‘1’ is also minimized by 63.89%, 37.99% and 42.77%. Furthermore, the power attenuation is also reduced for read and write by 63.02% and 81.6%, respectively with respect to a conventional SRAM.
