Abstract
A storage cell having a storage circuit and a readout circuit may be used in power-saving environments, where the storage circuit may be maintained in an ultra-drowsy mode during power-saving periods while the readout circuit may be powered down during power-saving periods. A pull-down transistor may be incorporated into the readout circuit to reduce current leakage during power-saving periods.
