If node 130 is an electronegative potential, then read port transistor 126 and will be closed condition, can't drag down the voltage of reading bit line RBL; Therefore the voltage of whole piece reading bit line RBL still is maintained at the noble potential after the precharge.Receive the noble potential that reads character line RWL when data storing circuit 206, will export electronegative potential.Then, negative circuit 208 is the output of reversal data storage circuit 206 just, and in output terminal OUT output noble potential.
Figure 3 shows that the output-stage circuit 300 of a static RAM of the embodiment of the invention.Output-stage circuit 300 comprises first pre-charge circuit (pre-charge circuit), 304, second pre-charge circuit 308, sense amplifier (sense amplifier) 306, latch cicuit (latch) 310 and phase inverter (inverter) 311.Wherein transistor 312,314,318,330,332 and 334 is the PMOS transistor, and transistor 316,320,322,324 and 326 is a nmos pass transistor.The input end of output-stage circuit 300 is reading bit line RBL, and this reading bit line RBL is coupled to the output terminal of a plurality of sram cell 100.Owing to coupled sram cell strong in number via reading bit line RBL, so be equal on the reading bit line RBL and coupled very big stray capacitance, this stray capacitance is to be coupled to stray capacitance 302 expressions between reading bit line RBL and ground voltage.
First pre-charge circuit 304 comprises the PMOS transistor 312 that is coupled between voltage source V dd and the reading bit line RBL, and its grid is coupled to pre-charge signal PRE.Sense amplifier 306 with the voltage of reading bit line RBL with after noble potential Vdd compares, in node 342 and the anti-phase output signals of 344 outputs two.Sense amplifier 306 comprises nmos pass transistor 316,320,322,324,326 and PMOS transistor 314,318.Wherein the drain electrode of transistor 326 is coupled to the source electrode of differential input transistor 324 and 322, and the source ground of transistor 326, its grid are coupled to sensing amplifier control signal SAC.The grid of differential input transistor 322 is coupled to reading bit line RBL, and its drain electrode is coupled to the source electrode of transistor 316.The grid of differential input transistor 324 is coupled to voltage source V dd, and its drain electrode is coupled to the source electrode of transistor 320.The grid of PMOS transistor 314 more is coupled to node 342 with the drain electrode of PMOS transistor 318 and the drain electrode of nmos pass transistor 320 with after the grid of nmos pass transistor 316 couples mutually.The grid of PMOS transistor 318 more is coupled to node 344 with the drain electrode of PMOS transistor 314 and the drain electrode of nmos pass transistor 316 with after the grid of nmos pass transistor 320 couples mutually.And the source electrode of PMOS transistor 314 and 318 is coupled to voltage source V dd.
Second pre-charge circuit 308 comprises PMOS transistor 330,332 and 334, and three's grid all is coupled to pre-charge signal PRE.The source electrode of PMOS transistor 330 is coupled to voltage source V dd, and its drain electrode is coupled to node 342.The source electrode of PMOS transistor 332 is coupled to voltage source V dd, and its drain electrode is coupled to node 344.PMOS transistor 334 is coupled between node 342 and 344.Latch cicuit 310 is used to lock and storage node 342 and 344 voltages of exporting, and comprises NAND (NAND) door 336 and 338.Wherein an input end of NAND door 336 is coupled to node 342, and another input end is coupled to the output terminal of NAND door 338; And an input end of NAND door 338 is coupled to node 344, and another input end is coupled to the output terminal of NAND door 336.Phase inverter 311 is coupled to the output terminal of the NAND door 336 of latch cicuit 310.
Sram cell 100 among Fig. 1, wherein stored value may be 0 or 1, so node 130 is also looked the storage values of SRAM and may be noble potential or electronegative potential.If node 130 is a noble potential, then read 126 conductings of port transistor; Otherwise, then read port transistor 126 and close if node 130 is an electronegative potential.Suppose that desire reads this sram cell this moment.Before reading sram cell, must reading bit line RBL be precharged to noble potential (for example being the noble potential of voltage source V dd) by first pre-charge circuit 304; And when charging, earlier pre-charge signal PRE being dropped to electronegative potential, just conducting of PMOS transistor 312 relatedly is precharged to noble potential with reading bit line RBL.In this simultaneously, the pre-charge signal PRE in second pre-charge circuit 308 also drops to electronegative potential, and PMOS transistor 330,332 and 334 just conductings are to charge to node 342 and 344 noble potential (for example being the noble potential of voltage source V dd). Node 342 and 334 coupling a little for two inverting inputs of two reversed-phase outputs of sense amplifier 306 and latch cicuit 310.After reading bit line RBL charging finished, just the pre-charge signal PRE with the grid of PMOS transistor 312 was promoted to noble potential, to close PMOS transistor 312.This moment is because pre-charge signal PRE is promoted to noble potential, and PMOS transistor 330,332 and 334 also is closed, so node 342 does not couple mutually with 344 both mutual independences.Then, the voltage that reads character line RWL of the sram cell 100 that is selected will rise to noble potential, read port transistor 128 with conducting.See Fig. 4 a, wherein pre-charge signal PRE is promoted to noble potential earlier, then reads character line RWL and also rises to noble potential.
Then read port transistor 126 and 128 and will all be conducting state if node 130 is a noble potential this moment; And because the source ground of transistor 126, therefore the voltage of related whole piece reading bit line RBL also can be pulled down to earth potential gradually.But because the existence of stray capacitance 302, so the voltage of reading bit line RBL will be slow decline, shown in Fig. 4 b.This moment will be by sense amplifier 306, detects the grid voltage of two differential input transistors 322 and 324 and compares, and the result is exported two anti-phase each other voltages in node 342 and 344.Must get appropriate time point and start sense amplifier 306 because the voltage of reading bit line RBL descends slowlyer this moment, makes the grid voltage slippage of nmos pass transistor 322 enough big exporting the correct result that reads, but time for reading can not delayed long.When sensing amplifier control signal SAC rose to noble potential, just conducting of nmos pass transistor 326 was to start sense amplifier 306.Ask for an interview Fig. 4 c, if when sensing amplifier control signal SAC rises to noble potential as shown in dotted line c1~c3 too early, then sensing amplifier 306 can be in the noble potential of node 342 output errors, shown in the dotted line d1~d3 among Fig. 4 d.If sensing amplifier control signal SAC shown in solid line c4~c8 as when the appropriate time rises to noble potential, then sensing amplifier 306 can be in the correct electronegative potential (shown in the solid line d4~d8 among Fig. 4 d) of node 342 outputs, and in the anti-phase noble potential of node 344 outputs and node 342.
Then, the latch cicuit of being made up of NAND door 336 and 338 310 just receives the output of sense amplifier 306 in node 342 and 344, and continues the anti-phase noble potential of output and node 342.At last, the output of phase inverter 311 counter-rotating latch cicuits 310, and in output terminal OUT output electronegative potential.
Otherwise, if node 130 is an electronegative potential, then reads port transistor 126 and will be closed condition, can't drag down the voltage of reading bit line RBL; Therefore the voltage of whole piece reading bit line RBL still is maintained at the noble potential after the precharge.Because the differential input transistor 322 of sensing amplifier 306 and 324 grid voltage are all noble potential at this moment, can't obtain correct output.For solving this problem, the present invention specially strengthens the grid width (gate width) of differential input transistor 322, for example the grid width of differential input transistor 322 can be 1.5 times of grid width of differential input transistor 324, so that transistor 322 has less conducting resistance when making differential input transistor 322 and 324 grid be connected to identical voltage Vdd, so that the drain electrode of differential input transistor 322 produces the drain electrode of more differential input transistors 324 is big current potential pull-down capability, and then making the drain electrode of transistor 316 produce electronegative potential, the drain electrode of transistor 320 produces noble potential.Therefore receive the noble potential that reads character line RWL when sense amplifier 306, will export noble potentials in node 342, and in node 344 output electronegative potentials.Then, the latch cicuit of being made up of NAND door 336 and 338 310 just receives the output of sense amplifier 306 in node 342 and 344, and continues the anti-phase electronegative potential of output and node 342.At last, the output of phase inverter 311 counter-rotating latch cicuits 310, and in output terminal OUT output noble potential.
At last, we can be in Fig. 4 d the output result of correlation technique of the embodiment of the invention of comparison diagram 3 and Fig. 2.If sensing amplifier control signal SAC starts in suitable time point, as the c4~c8 among Fig. 4 c, then the output of its correspondence is shown in the d4~d8 among Fig. 4 d.And the output result of the correlation technique of Fig. 2 is shown in the dotted line that is designated as e among Fig. 4 d.Therefore the output of visible d4~d8 use this circuit to obtain exporting the result sooner in the comparable traditional circuit of the output stage of SRAM than the fast about 1~3ns of output of correlation technique in figure.
The present invention uses sensing amplifier in the output circuit of the SRAM of single-ended output, will amplify for little differential wave by this, to accelerate the reading speed of SRAM.Two input ends of this sensing amplifier connect voltage source V dd and reading bit line respectively.And for fear of when reading the online SRAM output in position also for noble potential, two input ends of sensing amplifier are all noble potential and cause the correctly situation of interpretation, therefore adopt asymmetrical design, the transistor gate widths that is couple to reading bit line in the sensing amplifier is increased, reducing this transistorized conducting resistance, and when being all noble potential, two input ends of sensing amplifier can obtain correct output.Therefore use this circuit can effectively reduce the time for reading of SRAM as the output-stage circuit of SRAM, and the usefulness of promoting this SRAM.
Above-mentioned several embodiment of the present invention described.Those skilled in the art should understand that they can be with embodiment of the invention modification or as the basis of designing, to reach identical purpose or the convenience of being introduced with this paper of embodiment.Those skilled in the art also should understand; above-mentioned equivalent constructions thing does not surmount spirit of the present invention and category; even those skilled in the art make various forms of modifications, replacement or change, as long as spirit still according to the invention just still belongs to protection category of the present invention.
