Abstract
A circuit for providing additional current in a memory cell without a higher supply voltage is provided. Embodiments include a circuit having a six transistor static random access memory (SRAM) cell including a first inverter and second cross-coupled to a second inverter; a first transistor having a first source coupled to a first bit-line, a first drain coupled to the first inverter, and a first gate coupled to a word-line; a second transistor having a second source coupled to the second inverter, a second drain coupled to a second bit-line, and a second gate coupled to the word-line; and a plurality of bit-line sensing transistors coupled to the first transistor and to the second transistor.
