Detailed Description
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in order to avoid obscuring the invention. It is to be understood that the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected to," "coupled to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly connected to" other elements, there are no intervening elements present. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1, in order to balance data security and low power consumption of the SRAM in the prior art, one solution is to introduce a source bias circuit 20 and control the output of the source bias circuit 20 by applying control signals B0 and B1 to provide a voltage drop (i.e., a source bias voltage) VDDC of different degrees to a memory array 10 of the SRAM, wherein a combination of the control signals B0 and B1 satisfying different operating modes can be generated by a programmable control structure (e.g., a decoding circuit) to select a corresponding VDDC level setting of the source bias voltage VDDC. The method has the advantages of simple circuit structure, flexible use and no introduction of extra power consumption. It has the following disadvantages: (1) In order to ensure data safety, the scheme needs conservative design, and the power consumption reduction effect is not obvious; (2) adaptive adjustment cannot be achieved; (3) Under the change of external environmental conditions, the voltage reduction effect of the memory array of the SRAM is not controllable, and especially when the voltage drop of the memory array 10 exceeds the Data Retention Voltage (DRV), the Data may be damaged, so the voltage reduction effect of the SRAM may be usually selected to be a conservative design. The data retention voltage DRV refers to a minimum voltage at which data is retained in the SRAM in an idle state.
Referring to fig. 2, in order to achieve the effect of adaptive regulation, a voltage follower analog circuit 30 is usually introduced to provide a corresponding source bias voltage VDDC to the memory array 10. The voltage following analog circuit 30 can be connected to the voltage before and after the voltage division of the resistors R1 and R2, and further adaptively adjust the source bias voltage VDDC output by the voltage following analog circuit according to the obtained voltage division result, so that the adaptive adjustment can be realized, and the sensitivity is high, but the method has the following disadvantages: (1) The structure of the voltage following analog circuit 30 is complex, which generally includes a current source, a reference voltage generator, a voltage follower, etc., the circuit area is significantly increased, and the added modules (such as the current source, the reference voltage generator, the voltage follower, etc.) themselves bring extra power consumption, and cannot be turned off in a sleep mode; (2) The universality is poor, and the voltage following analog circuit 30 needs to be readjusted and designed for SRAM memories with different specifications.
The technical solution proposed by the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description.

Referring to fig. 4, the output unit 405 is coupled to the first port D and the second port DX of the coupling inverting unit 403, and is used for outputting the feedback signal AUTO _ SB according to the comparison result of the coupling inverting unit 403.
Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 4, the output unit 405 includes a first nand logic circuit nand1, a second nand logic circuit nand2, and a first inverter logic circuit inv1. A first input (not labeled) of the first nand logic circuit nand1 is coupled to the second port DX of the coupling inverting unit 403, and a second input (not labeled) of the first nand logic circuit nand1 is coupled to an output of the second nand logic circuit nand2 and an input of the first inverting logic circuit inv1.

Referring to fig. 6, the working principle of the sense amplifier of the present embodiment is as follows: when the control signal ASB _ ON is a low level "0", the first MOS transistor P1 and the second MOS transistor P2 are turned ON, and the source bias voltage VDDC and the reference voltage VREF are transmitted to the first port D and the second port DX of the coupling inverting unit 403, and when the control signal ASB _ ON is a high level "1", the first MOS transistor P1 and the second MOS transistor P2 are turned off, so that the differential pressure change is prevented from being influenced by noise, and the output result is further influenced. When VDDC > VREF, the level of the second port DX is changed to a low level "0", the level of the first port D is changed to a high level "1", and the output feedback signal AUTO _ SB is changed to a high level "1", whereas when VDDC < VREF, the level of the second port DX is changed to a high level "1", the level of the first port D is changed to a low level "0", and the output feedback signal AUTO _ SB is changed to a low level "0".
Optionally, referring to fig. 5, the source bias circuit 20 includes a second inverting logic circuit inv2 and at least two voltage drop branches with different voltage drop degrees, where the second inverting logic circuit inv2 is coupled to the output terminal of the control circuit 40, and is configured to receive the feedback signal AUTO _ SB and output an inverted signal AUTO _ SBX inverted from the feedback signal AUTO _ SB. Of all the voltage drop branches, at least one voltage drop branch 201 is coupled to the output terminal of the control circuit 40 and is connected to the first power voltage VDD, and is configured to provide a corresponding voltage drop (i.e., output after the first power voltage VDD is converted into a source bias voltage VDDC of a corresponding tap) under the control of the feedback signal AUTO _ SB, and at least another voltage drop branch 202 is coupled to the output terminal of the second inverting logic circuit inv2 and is connected to the first power voltage VDD, and is configured to provide a corresponding voltage drop (i.e., output after the first power voltage VDD is converted into a source bias voltage VDDC of another corresponding tap) under the control of the inverting signal AUTO _ SBX.
The second inverting logic circuit inv2 may be implemented by an inverter, and may also be implemented by any suitable circuit capable of implementing "inverting" logic, which is not specifically limited in the present invention.
It should be understood that the magnitude (i.e., the shift position) of the source bias voltage VDDC finally output by the source bias circuit 20 is related to the level of the feedback signal AUTO _ SB and the number of voltage drop branches that are turned on under the control of the feedback signal AUTO _ SB and the inverted signal AUTO _ SBX, wherein all the voltage drop branches provide the sum of the voltage drops at the same time to be the source bias voltage VDDC output by the source bias circuit 20. Therefore, the magnitude (i.e., the gear) of the source bias voltage VDDC output by the source bias circuit 20 can be adaptively adjusted according to the level of the feedback signal AUTO _ SB.
Optionally, each voltage drop branch in the source bias circuit 20 includes at least two cascaded MOS transistors, and the number of the cascaded MOS transistors in the voltage drop branches with different voltage drop degrees is different.
Taking the source bias circuit 20 with two voltage drop branches 201 and 202 with different voltage drop degrees as an example, the voltage drop branch 201 has two cascaded MOS transistors P11 and P12, a gate of the MOS transistor P11 is connected to the feedback signal AUTO _ SB, a source of the MOS transistor P11 is connected to the first power voltage VDD, a drain of the MOS transistor P11 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor P12, and a gate and a drain of the MOS transistor P12 are connected and connected to the output terminal a of the source bias circuit 20. The voltage drop branch 201 has three cascaded MOS transistors P21, P22, and P23, a gate of the MOS transistor P21 is connected to the inverted signal AUTO _ SBX, a source of the MOS transistor P21 is connected to the first power voltage VDD, a drain of the MOS transistor P21 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor P22, a gate and a drain of the MOS transistor P22 are connected to the source of the MOS transistor P23, and a gate and a drain of the MOS transistor P23 are connected to the output a of the source bias circuit 20. The conduction types of the MOS transistors P11, P12, P21, P22, and P23 are the same, for example, they are all PMOS transistors, and thus the two voltage drop branches 201 and 202 are not turned on simultaneously under the control of the mutually inverted signals AUTO _ SB and AUTO _ SBX.
Specifically, when the feedback signal AUTO _ SB is at a low level "0", the inverted signal AUTO _ SBX is at a high level "1", the MOS transistor P11 is turned on, the MOS transistor P21 is turned off (i.e., turned off), the voltage drop branch 201 is opened, and the voltage drop branch 202 is closed, at this time, the source bias voltage VDDC output by the source bias circuit 20 is a voltage drop provided by the voltage drop branch 201, and is a lower gear. When the feedback signal AUTO _ SB is at a high level "1", the inverted signal AUTO _ SBX is at a low level "0", the MOS transistor P11 is turned off (i.e., turned off), the MOS transistor P21 is turned on, the voltage drop branch 201 is turned off, and the voltage drop branch 202 is turned on, at this time, the source bias voltage VDDC output by the source bias circuit 20 is a voltage drop provided by the voltage drop branch 202, and is at a higher gear.
It should be noted that after the system enters the sleep mode, the control circuit 40 may be powered off or not operated because the control signal ABS _ ON is low, so as to reduce the static power consumption of the system.
In summary, the sram circuit of the present embodiment has a simple structure, a small additional area, and easy modularization and standardization. And the control circuit is added ON the basis of the existing circuit, so that the source bias voltage VDDC output by the source bias circuit is compared with the reference voltage VREF under the control of the control signal ABS _ ON, and the self-adaptive adjustment of the source bias voltage VDDC output by the source bias circuit is realized according to the comparison result, thereby dynamically reducing the static power consumption of the SRAM system and ensuring the data safety of the SRAM system. In addition, the detection of the source bias voltage VDDC may be performed only once before the SRAM system enters the sleep mode, and the power supply of the control circuit 40 may be cut off after the sleep mode is entered, thereby not causing excessive static power consumption.
Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic product, which includes the sram circuit according to the present invention. The electronic product adopts the static random access memory circuit, so the static power consumption is low.
In the above embodiments, the reference voltage VREF may be provided by any suitable circuit such as a bandgap reference circuit.

The above description is only for the purpose of describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any variations and modifications made by those skilled in the art according to the above disclosure are within the scope of the present invention.
