A single-ended read, differential write CMOS SRAM cell has two inverters connected in a regenerative feedback circuit. Each inverter includes two complementary FETs. FETs of the same type in each inverter have differing gate widths and/or drive currents. The cell includes pass gate FETs having gate regions of approximately the same widths but differing lengths.
