摘要: 随着半导体工艺节点进入微纳尺度,微弱的位线电流和较大的器件参数偏差成为制约读取电路速度和良率的主要因素,由此提出了基于电流采样技术的灵敏放大器,能够在器件参数失配较为严重、位线电流很小的场合下快速稳定的工作.在Silterra 0.13μm C13GCMOS工艺下,采用Spectre工具对电路进行仿真,结果表明:在电源电压为0.8V、位线电流和参考电流分别为150nA和100nA时,读取过程能够在4ns内完成,电路可以用于低电压、低功耗存储器的数据读出.Abstract: As the device dimension scales into the nanometer era,the read-out circuits suffer from slow read speed or low yield for the reduced bit-line current and device mismatches.The proposed CMOS Current-Sampling-Based SA can overcome the effect of the device mismatches and operate correctly at a desired speed even if the bit-line current is very weak.The circuit is realized in Silterra 0.13μm C13 GCMOS technology and simulation results show that the random read-out can be finished in 4ns when the supply voltage is 0.8V with the cell current and reference current are 150 nA and 100 nA,respectively.
