Abstract
In previous SRAM designs, reducing minimum op-
erating voltage (VDDmin) inevitably resulted in device sw i t ha
large cell area (A). This work proposes an L-shaped 7T cell (L7T)
and read-bitline (RBL) swing expansion scheme (RBL-EXPD)
to minimize A
VDDmin for low-voltage applications. T his L7T
features an area-ef ficient cell layout and a read-disturb free de-
coupled 1T read port (RP) capable of providing a wide space for
write margin improvement. The RBL-EXPD emplo ys (1) boosted
