Abstract
Process variations are a main challenge in the design of SRAM in advanced technology nodes, and can limit the minimum supply voltage and the minimum energy consumption. In this work, we focused on circuits that combat these variations effect to enable ultra-low power operation. In addition, we proposed a CAD scheme to co-optimize the architecture and circuit structure of the SRAM to further achieve optimal low power operation.
