Abstract
A list sort static random access memory (LSSRAM) unit cell includes a static random access memory (SRAM) cell having a pair of cross-coupled elements to store data and a dynamic/static (D/S) mode selector to selectably switch the LSSRAM unit cell between a dynamic storage mode and a static storage mode. The LSSRAM unit cell further includes a swap selector to swap the stored data with data stored in an adjacent memory cell during the dynamic storage mode when the swap selector is activated, and a data comparator to compare the stored data in the SRAM cell with the data stored in the adjacent memory cell and to activate the swap selector according to a result of the comparison.
