Abstract

Single-ended read circuits for SRAM devices are disclosed for high performance sub-micron designs. One embodiment is an SRAM device that includes a memory cell array and a bit line traversing the memory cell array for reading data from memory cells of the memory cell array. A read circuit coupled to the bit line translates data stored in a memory cell from a cell voltage of the memory cells to a peripheral voltage of an output of the SRAM device while bypassing a level shifter in the read data path.
