Abstract
A SRAM system having an address scheme and/or wire control layout. By preferentially accessing a defined address range mapped to SRAM array blocks located near a controller, significant power savings can be realized. In one embodiment, the address scheme determines a range physically closer to a central control location. In another embodiment, the wire control layout reduces number and length of active wires, further reducing power consumption.
