Abstract
A resettable SRAM architecture and method that eliminates the need to reset all memory cells in the data memory array and requires only the resetting of one flag bit per block of data. This prevents superfluous activation of access circuits and memory cell transistors, thereby reducing power consumption and parasitic noise.
