Abstract
A non-volatile static random access memory ('SRAM') cell using variable resistance random access memory ('RAM') cells is described. A memory tri-cell includes an SRAM cell with a first charge node and a second charge node. A first variable resistance random access memory cell is coupled between the first charge node and a supply voltage bus. A second variable resistance random access memory cell is coupled between the first charge node and a ground bus. A first control gate is coupled between the supply voltage bus and the first variable resistance random access memory cell. A second control gate is coupled between the ground bus and the second variable resistance random access memory cell.
