Multi-Port Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) with Buffered Read Port and P and N Pass Gates to Same Write Bit Line

A multi-port memory cell has a write-only cell and a buffered read port. The write-only cell has cross-coupled inverters and transmission gates to write bit lines. Each transmission gate has n-channel and p-channel transistors in parallel that both turn on during writing but remain off for reading. A node in the cross-coupled inverters is applied to a gate of a buffer transistor that has a channel in series with a channel of a read pass transistor to a read bit line. The buffered read port can be an inverter and a transmission gate, or can have p-channel and n-channel buffer and pass transistors in a four-transistor stack. The number of p-channel and n-channel transistors can be equal for use in a standard-cell or macro library layout, and the standard-cell logic power supply can be used for the memory cells even for ultra-low supply voltages.

The pull-down transistor P is connected to the drain of transistor F and source of transistor G2 and the storage capacitor C1 is connected to a voltage boosting line Vb. In the operation, Vb is set to zero volt when data is transferring to C1 capacitor through G1 gate. After the frame data are loaded onto C1 capacitors in all pixels, Vb is set to designed voltage and G2 gates in all pixels are opened to charge Clcd capacitors. Vb is then set to zero volt again before starting to load next frame data onto pixels. Such process is iterated in the liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) working time.
