SRAM cell with intrinsically high stability and low leakage

A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell having high stability and low leakage is provided. The SRAM cell includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters providing differential storage of a data bit. Power to the SRAM cell is provided by a read word line (RWL) signal, which is also referred to herein as a read control signal. During read operations, the RWL signal is pulled to a voltage level that forces the SRAM cell to a full-voltage state. During standby, the RWL signal is pulled to a voltage level that forces the SRAM cell to a voltage collapsed state in order to reduce leakage current, or leakage power, of the SRAM cell. A read-transistor providing access to the bit stored by the SRAM cell is coupled to the SRAM cell via a gate of the read transistor, thereby decoupling the stability of the SRAM cell from the read operation.

Method for identifying cascading failure of power system

The invention discloses a method for identifying the cascading failure of a power system. Considering the speed governing and load response of a power generator, a more practical power system load flow calculation model is established, and the method overcomes the impact that a traditional load flow calculation model cannot reflect the regulation action and load response of the power generator in the load flow calculation model. From the perspective of the operation status of the system, the method analyzes the relationship between stable voltage and the failure in the cascading failure; and deducts the stable indicator of the system voltage and the critical value of the indicator by analyzing the change of a Jacobi matrix element value in order to quantitatively analyze the relationship between the critical value of the voltage and the operation status of the system. As the load is increased, the system has higher risk of the cascading failure. During the process, the stable indicator of the system voltage is gradually reduced, and the critical value is always maintained at 0.5 (+ / -0.03). In an actual system, the critical value of the voltage which is calculated remains unchanged in the cascading failure, 0.6 is selected as the critical value of voltage collapse in a power grid in the actual system, so as to identify whether the power grid faces the risk of large-scale power-off or not. In such a manner, the method has better actual guiding significance.
