Abstract:
As the technology scaling has happened, logic performance has improved at a much faster rate than SRAM performance. Therefore, in SRAMs, required performance improvement is achieved by design and architecture level changes. This work presents pipelined hierarchical SRAM and compares it with a conventional non-hierarchical SRAM design on the axes of Performance, Power, and Area. We show that a pipelined SRAM of size 8192×64 m16 with integrated burst mode, operates at 40% lesser dynamic power and is 31% faster than a conventional non-hierarchical SRAM design in 65nm Low stand-by Power(LSTP) CMOS technology. When compared to hierarchical design, it operates at 19% lesser dynamic power and is 17% faster with an area increase of 5%.
