Memory elements with body bias control

Abstract

An integrated circuit with memory elements is provided. The memory elements may have memory element transistors with body terminals. Body bias control circuitry may supply body bias voltages that strengthen or weaken memory element transistors to improve read and write margins. The body bias control circuitry may dynamically control body bias voltages so that time-varying body bias voltages are supplied to memory element transistors. Address transistors and latch transistors in the memory elements may be selectively strengthened and weakened. Process variations may be compensated by weakening fast transistors and strengthening slow transistors with body bias adjustments.
