Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the mainstream unit of SRAM is 6T structure, such as figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a traditional 6T SRAM storage unit. When 6T is used in a bit-interleaved structure, it will cause a half-selection problem. At a lower voltage, the write operation becomes difficult.
Certain design needs can be met by adjusting the device size, but it has become unrealistic to achieve the design goal simply by adjusting the device size, and the improvement of the read noise margin and the improvement of the write margin are contradictory

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, in particular to an SRAM storage unit circuit with high read noise tolerance, which can be applied to a bit interleaving structure to solve the half-selection problem. Background technique [0002] In recent years, application fields represented by wireless sensor networks and medical electronic equipment have higher and higher requirements for power consumption and performance of SoCs. Embedded static random access memory (SRAM) is one of the key components of SoCs. Reducing the power supply voltage is an effective means to ensure low power consumption of SRAM. However, the reduction of power supply voltage will bring some bad effects, such as reducing the stability of reading and writing. Therefore, one of the criteria for designing low-voltage SRAM is to improve the reading and writing of cells. performance. [0003] Another criterion for low-voltage SRAM cell design is to solve t...
