CONFIGURATION STORAGE CELL

Abstract

The device can include a first inverter, a second inverter, a first access transistor, and a second access transistor. The first and second inverters can be cross-coupled between a first node and a second node to store a signal state represented by voltage values ​​at the first and second nodes. The first and second inverters can be configured to operate reliably under a voltage condition higher than the positive supply voltage of the device. The first access transistor can selectively couple the first node to a bit line, enabling direct control of the first node during access operations. The second access transistor can selectively couple the second node to a bit line, enabling direct control of the second node during access operations.The respective positive supply inputs of the first inverter and the second inverter can be coupled to a voltage supply that is assigned a higher voltage level than the positive supply voltage of the device.
