In the process of transmitting the input signal Din to the first output signal terminal BL and transmitting the inverted input signal Din to the second output signal terminal NBL, the first diode and the second diode are both kept in the off state, so that the input signal Din and the inverted input signal Din are prevented from generating interference with each other, and the write-in sub-circuit 11 is more stable in the working process.

For example, during the process of resetting the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL, the potentials of the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL may be pulled up to the magnitude of the first power voltage signal VDD. In the working process of the write-in sub-circuit 11, the write-in sub-circuit 11 firstly resets and then transmits the input signal Din, so that the situation that the signal output of the first output signal end BL and the signal output of the second output signal end NBL is influenced by the residual signal after the previous signal output is avoided, and the accuracy and precision of the output signal of the write-in sub-circuit 11 are improved.

Further illustratively, referring to fig. 2b, the data latch unit 131 includes a first RS flip-flop 1311 and a second RS flip-flop 1312. The set terminal of the first RS flip-flop 1311 is coupled to the third output signal terminal Out, and the reset terminal is coupled to the fourth output signal terminal Outn. The set terminal of the second RS flip-flop 1312 is coupled to the first output terminal Q of the first RS flip-flop 1311, and the reset terminal of the second RS flip-flop 1312 is coupled to the second output terminal Qn of the first RS flip-flop 1311; one output terminal of the second RS flip-flop 1312 serves as a fifth output signal terminal D0, and the other output terminal thereof serves as a sixth output signal terminal D.
In the embodiment of the present invention, only the data latch unit 131 includes 2 RS flip-flops for illustration, and it can be understood by those skilled in the art that the data latch unit 131 may include only one RS flip-flop, where the Set terminal Set and the reset terminal Rst of the RS flip-flop are respectively coupled to the third output signal terminal Out and the fourth output signal terminal Outn, and the two output terminals are respectively used as the fifth output signal terminal D0 and the sixth output signal terminal D.
Referring to fig. 2c, the first RS flip-flop 1311 includes, for example, a first nand gate 1313 and a second nand gate 1314.

The input terminal of the inverter 111 is coupled to the input signal terminal Din.
For example, the first enable signal We and the select signal Sel are active high, and the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are all N-type transistors. In the data writing phase, when the first enable signal We and the select signal Sel are at a high level, the first transistor M1, the second transistor M2, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are all turned on, and the input signal Din passes through the first transistor M1 and the third transistor M3 and is output from the first output signal end BL; the input signal Din is inverted by the inverter 111 and flows into the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4, and the inverted input signal Din is output from the second output signal terminal NBL. For example, when the input signal Din is at a high level, the first output signal BL output from the first output signal terminal BL is at a high level, for example, 1; the second output signal NBL output from the second output signal terminal NBL is low, for example, 0.
The write-in sub-circuit 11 has a simple structure, requires fewer control signals, can output signals, is convenient for building a circuit and reduces the production cost of the circuit to the greatest extent.

The input end of the first diode D1 is coupled to the first node N1, and the output end is coupled to the first power voltage signal end VDD; the second diode D2 has an input coupled to the second node N2 and an output coupled to the first power voltage signal terminal VDD.
The first diode D1 and the second diode D2 constitute a potential clamp circuit, and since the first power voltage VDD provided by the first power voltage signal terminal VDD is much greater than the level of the input signal Din, the first diode D1 and the second diode D2 are both unlikely to be turned on in the reverse direction, so that the mutual interference generated between the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the second node N2 can be reduced, and the stability of the write sub-circuit 11 is finally improved.
In some embodiments, as shown with reference to fig. 3c and 3d, the write sub-circuit 11 further includes a fifth transistor M5 and a sixth transistor M6.

The gate of the sixth transistor M6 is coupled to the reset signal terminal Rstn, the first pole is coupled to the first power voltage signal terminal VDD, and the second pole is coupled to the second output signal terminal NBL.
For example, the low level of the reset signal Rstn provided by the reset signal terminal Rstn is an active signal, and the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 may be P-type transistors, such as PMOS transistors.
When the reset signal Rstn is at a low level, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are turned on, the first power supply voltage signal terminal VDD provides the first power supply voltage signal VDD, and the first power supply voltage signal VDD is transmitted to the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL, so that the potentials of the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL are pulled up, and the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL are reset.
The reset phase of the write-in sub-circuit 11 is located before the data write-in phase, and resetting the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL can ensure the accuracy of the first output signal output by the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal output by the second output signal terminal NBL during the data write-in phase, thereby improving the performance of the write-in sub-circuit 11.

Illustratively, the first gate driving signal WL provided by the first gate driving signal terminal WL is active high. On this basis, the seventh transistor M7, the ninth transistor M9, the eleventh transistor M11, and the twelfth transistor M12 are exemplified as N-type transistors; the eighth transistor M8 and the tenth transistor M10 are both P-type transistors, such as PMOS transistors.
The twelfth transistor M12 is turned on to transmit the first output signal BL to the first control node S1 when the first gate driving signal WL is at a high level, and the eleventh transistor M11 is turned on to transmit the second output signal NBL to the second control node S2, and meanwhile, when the first output signal BL is at a high level and the second output signal NBL is at a low level, the first control node S1 is at a high level and the second control node S2 is at a low level. When the first control node S1 is at a high level, the seventh transistor M7 is turned on, the eighth transistor M8 is turned off, and the seventh transistor M7 is turned on to transmit the second power voltage signal Vss provided by the second power voltage signal terminal Vss to the second control node S2, where the signals are all at a low level, i.e., Vss level (e.g., 0), on the line formed by the seventh transistor M7, the second control node S2, the eleventh transistor M11, and the second output signal terminal NBL; when the second control node S2 is at a low level, the ninth transistor M9 is turned off, the tenth transistor M10 is turned on to transmit the first power voltage signal VDD to the first control node S1, and signals are all at a high level, i.e., VDD level (e.g., 1), on a line formed by the tenth transistor M10, the first control node S1, the twelfth transistor M12, and the first output signal terminal BL. The seventh transistor M7, the eighth transistor M8, the ninth transistor M9, and the tenth transistor M10 thus constitute two cross-coupled inverters, the first output signal BL is stored at the first control node S1, the second output signal NBL is stored at the second control node S2, the potential of the first control node S1 is 1 when the first output signal BL is 1, and the potential of the second control node S2 is 0 when the second output signal NBL is 0, and vice versa; the storage sub-circuit 12 thus realizes storage of the signal output by the write sub-circuit 11.
In other embodiments, memory sub-circuits 12 are distributed in an array, such as in a plurality of rows and columns. The memory sub-circuits 12 located in the same row share the same first power supply voltage signal line VDD, second power supply voltage signal line Vss and first gate driving signal line WL; the memory sub-circuits 12 in the same column share the same first output signal line BL and second output signal line NBL.
The memory sub-circuit 12 can realize the storage of data by only 6 transistors at least, and has a simple structure. The plurality of memory sub-circuits 12 distributed in the array can store more signals, so the number of memory sub-circuits 12 needs to be set according to the requirements of the processing circuit chip and the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 6b, when the read sub-circuit 13 needs to read the data stored in the storage sub-circuit 12, when the storage sub-circuit 12 stores a high level, the level of the first control node S1 is a high level, and the level of the second control node S2 is a low level; when the selection signal Sel is at a high level, the eighteenth transistor M18 and the nineteenth transistor M19 are controlled to be turned on, so that the level of the third node N3 is at a high level, the level of the fourth node N4 is at a low level, the second gate driving signal G2 is at a high level to control the thirteenth transistor M13 to be turned on, meanwhile, the second enable signal Lat is at a high level to control the seventeenth transistor M17 to be turned on, and finally, the fourth output signal Outn is at a low level; when the fourth node N4 is at a low level, the third gate driving signal G3 is at a low level to control the fourteenth transistor M14 to turn off, and the third output signal Out is at a high level (keeping the magnitude of VDD).

It should be noted that the structure of the write sub-circuit 11 in fig. 6a to 6d may also be the structure of the write sub-circuit 11 as shown in fig. 3a, 3c and 3d, but the read sub-circuit 13 does not multiplex the structure in the write sub-circuit 11 at this time, i.e. the overall structure of the write sub-circuit 11 is not changed, but the multiplexing unit 110 does not need to be subdivided.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that when the readout sub-circuit 13 is in operation, the selection signal Sel is high, and the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 in the write sub-circuit 11 are also turned on, but since the first enable signal We is not valid, no path is formed in the write sub-circuit 11. Based on this, in other embodiments, the signal connected to the eighteenth transistor M18 and the nineteenth transistor M19 may be other signals, and this signal is only used as the selection signal Sel in this application for illustration, but is not limited thereto.

When the fifth output signal terminal D0 outputs a high level 1, the potential of the sixth output signal terminal D is 0, and the sixth output signal terminal D is in a floating state when the sixth output signal terminal D is not coupled to an external circuit.
The data latch unit 131 is used to implement a data latch function, and the data read from the storage sub-circuit 12 by the reading sub-circuit 13 is latched at the fifth output signal terminal D0 or the sixth output signal terminal D until the next second enable signal Lat arrives.
Illustratively, when the third output signal terminal Out outputs a high level, for example, 1, and the fourth output signal terminal Outn outputs a low level, for example, 0, then the fifth output signal terminal D0 outputs a high level, for example, 1, so that the readout sub-circuit 13 achieves the purpose of reading Out the same signal as the storage sub-circuit 12 from the storage sub-circuit 12.

Referring to fig. 8a, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method of the SRAM memory 1, including:
s1, the write sub-circuit 11 outputs the input signal Din provided from the input signal terminal Din from the first output signal terminal BL and outputs the inverted input signal from the second output signal terminal NBL under the control of the selection signal terminal Sel and the first enable signal terminal We.
That is, the first output signal BL and the second output signal NBL are inverse signals, and the first output signal BL and the input signal Din are the same.
S2, the memory sub-circuit 12 stores the first output signal BL provided by the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal NBL provided by the second output signal terminal NBL under the control of the first power supply voltage signal terminal VDD, the second power supply voltage signal terminal Vss and the first gate driving signal terminal WL.
Illustratively, the storage sub-circuit 12 has a first control node S1 and a second control node S2, the first output signal BL being stored at the first control node S1 and the second output signal NBL being stored at the second control node S2.
S3, the readout sub-circuit 13 pulls up the potentials of the third output signal terminal Out and the fourth output signal terminal Outn to the first power supply voltage signal VDD provided by the first power supply voltage signal terminal VDD under the control of the first power supply voltage signal terminal VDD and the second enable signal terminal Lat, and outputs signals of different potentials from the third output signal terminal Out and the fourth output signal terminal Outn under the control of the second gate drive signal terminal G2, the third gate drive signal terminal G3, the second enable signal terminal Lat and the second power supply voltage signal terminal Vss, wherein the second gate drive signal G2 provided by the second gate drive signal terminal G2 is generated by the first output signal BL stored in the memory sub-circuit memory 12, and the third gate drive signal G3 provided by the third gate drive signal terminal G3 is generated by the second output signal NBL of the memory sub-circuit memory 12.
The second gate driving signal G2 is generated by the first output signal BL of the memory sub-circuit 12, i.e. the first output signal BL stored by the memory sub-circuit can be transmitted to the second gate driving signal terminal G2 as the second gate driving signal G2; the third gate driving signal G3 is generated by the second output signal NBL of the memory sub-circuit 12, i.e., the second output signal NBL can be transmitted to the third gate driving signal terminal G3 as the third gate driving signal G3.
The write sub-circuit 11 functions to write data into the memory sub-circuit 12, the memory sub-circuit 12 functions to store data, and the read sub-circuit 13 reads data from the memory sub-circuit 12 after the data is stored.
In the present application, the source of the second gate driving signal G2 and the source of the third gate driving signal G3 are the memory sub-circuit 12, the memory sub-circuit 12 outputs the first output signal BL and the second output signal NBL from the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL, respectively, and the first output signal BL and the second output signal NBL are transmitted and finally received by the readout sub-circuit 13 to become the second gate driving signal G2 and the third gate driving signal G3.
The control method of the SRAM memory 1 in the present application has the same beneficial effects as the aforementioned SRAM memory 1, and therefore, the detailed description thereof is omitted.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8b, the readout sub-circuit 13 outputs signals of different potentials from the third output signal terminal Out and the fourth output signal terminal Outn under the control of the first node N1, the second node N2, the second gate driving signal terminal G2, the third gate driving signal terminal G3, the second enable signal terminal Lat, and the second power supply voltage signal terminal Vss.
When the readout sub-circuit 13 performs data reading, the first output signal BL is transmitted to the first node N1, the second output signal NBL is transmitted to the second node N2, and the readout sub-circuit 13 is coupled to the write sub-circuit 11, the readout sub-circuit 13 needs to read out the potential of the first control node S1 and the potential of the second control node S2. At this time, the read sub-circuit 13 and the write sub-circuit 11 share a part of transistors.
In other embodiments, when the readout sub-circuit 13 performs data reading, the first output signal and the second output signal can be directly transmitted to the readout sub-circuit 13, and the readout sub-circuit 13 does not need to share transistors with the writing sub-circuit 11.
The read-out sub-circuit 13 is used to read data from the memory sub-circuit 12, so that this object can be achieved by a simple circuit design, which is simpler than a circuit in the related art that often requires several tens of transistors.
Referring to fig. 9a, in the data writing phase of the related art SRAM memory 1, the low level of the select signal CS is an active signal, the high level of the enable signal We is an active signal, and the input signal Din is written into the circuit under the control of the select signal CS, the enable signal We, and the address signal ADR.
Referring to fig. 9b, in the data read phase of the related art SRAM memory 1, the low level of the select signal CS is an active signal, the enable signal We maintains the low level, and the output terminal Dout outputs a signal under the control of the select signal CS and the enable signal We.
The related art has fewer control signals, and when a circuit of the SRAM memory is designed, more transistors are needed to cooperate to realize control with fewer signals.
The control method of the SRAM memory 1 in the present application is described below with reference to a timing chart and a circuit configuration diagram:
referring to fig. 10 in conjunction with fig. 5b, the reset phase: in the write sub-circuit 11, when a rising edge of the clock signal CLK arrives, that is, after a time t0 arrives, the reset signal Rstn jumps from a high level to a low level at a time t1, a low-level pulse is generated, and when the reset signal Rstn is an active signal, the fifth transistor M5 and the sixth transistor M6 are turned on, and reset operations are performed on the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL to pull up the levels of the first output signal terminal BL and the second output signal terminal NBL to the high level; when the reset signal Rstn jumps from low to high at time t2, the reset signal Rstn becomes an invalid signal, and the reset phase of the write sub-circuit 11 ends. The time when the clock signal CLK changes from high level to low level is t4, time t2 is less than time t4 and greater than time t1, and time t1 is greater than time t0, that is, the width of the active level of the reset signal Rstn is less than the width of the active level of the clock signal CLK.
A data writing stage: after the reset phase, the first enable signal We jumps from low level to high level at time t3 to control the first transistor M1 and the second transistor M2 to be turned on, and the select signal Sel also jumps from low level to high level at time t3 to control the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 to be turned on. The input signal Din provided from the input signal terminal Din is transmitted to the first output signal terminal BL through the first transistor M1 and the third transistor M3, and the inverted input signal Din is transmitted to the second output signal terminal NBL through the second transistor M2 and the fourth transistor M4. At this time, in the memory sub-circuit 12, the first gate driving signal WL jumps from the low level to the high level at time t3 to control the twelfth transistor M12 and the eleventh transistor M11 to be turned on, and stores the first output signal BL to the first control node S1 and the second output signal NBL to the second node N2, respectively. At time t4, the first enable signal We, the select signal Sel, and the first gate drive signal WL all jump low again from high, and time t4 coincides with the time of the falling edge of the clock signal CLK.
When the memory sub-circuit 12 is plural, the first output signal BL and the second output signal NBL are stored in which memory sub-circuit 12 is determined by an address signal ADR, which includes plural addresses, such as an address ADR1, an address ADR2, and the like; each address in the address signals ADR corresponds one-to-one to the memory sub-circuits 12.
And a data reading stage: the first gate driving signal WL jumps from the low level to the high level at time t5, the eleventh transistor M11 and the twelfth transistor M12 are turned on, and the signal stored in the first control node S1 is output from the twelfth transistor M12 to the first output signal terminal BL, i.e., the first output signal BL; the signal stored in the second control node S2 is output from the eleventh transistor M11 to the second output signal terminal NBL, i.e., the second output signal NBL. The select signal Sel also jumps from low level to high level at time t5, the third transistor M3 and the fourth transistor M4 are turned on, the first output signal BL is transmitted to the first node N1 through the third transistor M3, and the second output signal NBL is transmitted to the second node N2 through the fourth transistor M4. Under the control of the first node N1, the thirteenth transistor M13 is turned on, the fourteenth transistor M14 is still turned off under the control of the second node N2, and at this time, the second enable signal Lat jumps from a low level to a high level at time t5, so that the seventeenth transistor M17 is controlled to be turned on, the fifteenth transistor M15 and the sixteenth transistor M16 are controlled to be turned off, and both the third output signal terminal Out and the fourth output signal terminal Outn are at a high level before the fifteenth transistor M15 and the sixteenth transistor M16 are turned off. When the thirteenth transistor M13 is turned on, the second power supply voltage signal Wss is transmitted to the fourth output signal terminal Outn, so that the third output signal terminal Out outputs a high level at this time, and the fourth output signal terminal Outn outputs a low level at this time, so that the third output signal Out at this time is the same as the first output signal BL, and the fourth output signal Outn is the same as the second output signal NBL, that is, the reading sub-circuit 13 reads the third output signal Out from the storage sub-circuit 12, which is the same as the potential of the first control node S1 in the storage sub-circuit 12, and the fourth output signal Outn, which is the same as the potential of the second control node S2, and finally achieves the purpose of data reading.
In some embodiments, the fifth output signal terminal D0 of the data latch unit 131 is coupled to an external circuit, so that the waveform diagram of the fifth output signal is as shown in fig. 10.
It should be noted that, during the data reading phase, there is also a reset process, when the second enable signal is at a low level, the fifteenth transistor M15 and the sixteenth transistor M16 are both in an on state, and at this time, the first power voltage signal VDD can be transmitted to the third output signal terminal Out and the fourth output signal terminal Outn to reset them, so as to prepare for the output signals of the thirteenth transistor M13 and the fourteenth transistor M14.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that although the first power supply voltage signal VDD and the second power supply voltage signal Vss are not shown in the present application, the first power supply voltage signal VDD and the second power supply voltage signal Vss are each embodied as a straight line in the timing diagram, except that the straight line of the first power supply voltage signal VDD represents a high level and the straight line of the second power supply voltage signal Vss represents a low level.
Compared with the related art in which the control signals only include an enable signal We, a select signal CS and an address signal ADR, the data writing stage and the reading stage of the circuit are controlled by the control signals, the number of the control signals is small, the number of transistors required in the circuit structure is large, the control of the circuit is not fine and stable, the number of the control signals in the present application is large, the number of the required transistors is small, the control is more precise and stable, and particularly, the control of the writing sub-circuit 11 and the reading sub-circuit 13 is more accurate, because the writing sub-circuit 11 is controlled by the first enable signal We and the reading sub-circuit 13 is controlled by the second enable signal Lat in the present application, so that the control of the writing sub-circuit 11 and the reading sub-circuit 13 is relatively independent, and the control process is relatively simple.
Referring to fig. 11a, the SRAM memory 1 in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a row decoder 15 and a logic controller 14; the row decoder 15 is configured to provide a first gate driving signal WL to the SRAM memory 1, and the logic controller 14 is configured to provide a reset signal Rstn, a first enable signal We, and a second enable signal Lat to the SRAM memory 1.
Referring to fig. 11a, the reset signal Rstn, the first enable signal We, and the second enable signal Lat in the write sub-circuit 11 and the read sub-circuit 13 are provided by the logic controller 14. The logic controller 14 supplies the reset signal Rstn, the first enable signal We, and the second enable signal Lat to the write sub-circuit 11 and the read sub-circuit 13 under the control of the clock signal CLK, the write enable signal, and the read enable signal externally supplied.
The logic controller 14 supplies the address signal ADR to the row decoder 15 under the control of the externally supplied address signal ADR, and the row decoder 15 supplies the first gate driving signal WL to the memory sub circuit array 12' under the control of the address signal ADR. The address signal ADR and the first output signal BL provided by the row decoder 15 determine which specific memory sub-circuit 12 of the memory sub-circuit array 12' is operated, and then the first enable signal We and the second enable signal Lat control whether the memory sub-circuit 12 performs data writing or data reading.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the signal line for transmitting the first gate driving signal WL may be referred to as a word line, and the signal lines for transmitting the first output signal BL and the second output signal NBL may be referred to as bit lines.

The first step is as follows: an external clock signal CLK is input to the first delay block 141, and an output signal of the first delay block 141 and the clock signal CLK are input to the reset time generation block 144, so as to generate a reset signal Rstn, and the duration of the active level of the reset signal Rstn may be referred to fig. 10, for example, from t1 to t 2.
The second step is that: the output signal of the first delay block 141 is input to the second delay block 142, and the output signal of the second delay block 142 and an external write enable signal are input to the write time generation block 145, thereby generating the first enable signal We.

The third step: the output signal of the second delay block 142 is input to the third delay block 143, and the output signal of the third delay block 143 and an external read enable signal are input to the readout time generation block 146, thereby generating the second enable signal Lat. The duration of the active level of the second enable signal Lat can refer to fig. 10, for example, t 5-t 6.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the first delay module 141, the second delay module 142, and the third delay module 143 all function as time delays; the functions of the reset time generation module 144, the write time generation module 145 and the read time generation module 146 are all signal recombination. The first delay module 141, the second delay module 142, the third delay module 143, the reset time generation module 144, the write time generation module 145, and the read time generation module 146 for implementing the above functions are all integrated circuits commonly used in the art, and therefore are not described in detail in this application.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the high level and the low level in this application are only relative, such as 1 for high level and 0 for low level; the signal lines, the signal terminals and the signals correspond to each other, and the same signal lines, the same signal terminals and the same signals are denoted by the same reference numerals, for example, the first power voltage signal line VDD is used for providing the first power voltage signal VDD, so that the signal terminals can be understood as terminals coupled to the signal lines, and can also be understood as a part of the signal lines; data and signals are synonymous; the transistors are all exemplified by field effect transistors, the first pole of each transistor can be a source, the second pole can be a drain, or vice versa, and the terminal of the signal input is taken as the first pole, and the terminal of the signal output is taken as the second pole for illustration.
