Abstract
A 10-transistor dual-port SRAM with shared bit-line architecture includes a first memory cell and a second memory cell. The first memory cell has a first storage unit, a first switch set, and a second switch set. The second memory cell has a second storage unit, a third switch set, and a fourth switch set. The second switch set is coupled to a complement first A-port bit line and a complement first B-port bit line, and connected to the first storage unit. The third switch set is connected to a complement second A-port bit line, a complement second B-port bit line, and the second storage unit. Thus, the second memory cell can make use of the third switch set to share the complement first A-port bit line and the complement first B-port bit line with the first memory cell.
