Abstract
A static random access memory (SRAM) comprises a plurality of memory cells each having a pair of cross-coupled inverters, a first of the inverters being supplied by first and second power supply rails and a second of the inverters being supplied by third and fourth supply rails, an input of the second inverter being coupled to a first bit line via a first transistor; and a power supply circuit adapted to apply a first voltage difference across the first and second power supply rails and a second voltage difference across the third and fourth power supply rails, the second voltage difference being greater than the first voltage difference.
