Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of special integrated circuit design, and particularly relates to a wide-voltage SRAM timing tracking circuit.
Background
With the advent of the mobile internet era, the market has placed ever higher demands on the processing power and endurance of mobile devices. An embedded Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is one of mainstream memories of a mobile processor chip, and in order to achieve two design goals of high performance and low power consumption, a wide voltage SRAM design with a low to near threshold region is gradually becoming a research hotspot in the industry. The timing tracking circuit is one of the key modules of the embedded SRAM, and determines the performance and stability of the SRAM. However, the ever-decreasing operating voltages and ever-shrinking process nodes introduce significant process variation, making wide voltage SRAM timing tracking circuit designs a significant design challenge.
The wide voltage SRAM timing tracking circuit design has two problems: firstly, as the power supply voltage is reduced, the delay variation (SAE) caused by local process variation is increased sharply, and the read performance of the SRAM is deteriorated. Secondly, the design margins under different voltages are different, and the voltage tracking performance of the traditional copy bit line circuit is poor. A discharge switching type time sequence tracking technology suitable for a wide voltage SRAM and a circuit structure of a discharge switching module are provided in a broad voltage SRAM time sequence tracking circuit research and implementation thesis of 2018 of southeast university, the circuit adopts a bilateral symmetry structure, mutual influence between the level of a node m in a left circuit structure and the level of a node n in a right circuit structure is achieved, accordingly, cyclic turnover of internal signals in a periodic mode is achieved, and the process deviation resistance and the voltage tracking performance of the circuit are improved. However, the circuit structure of the discharge switching module is complex, and the enabling of the copy word line needs to be realized through mutual influence between node voltages, so that the risk of time delay caused by the process is also promoted. Therefore, it is necessary to design an SRAM timing tracking circuit with a simple and clear circuit structure and a discharge switching capability to improve the process deviation resistance and the voltage tracking performance of the circuit.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples.
Example 1. The invention provides a wide voltage SRAM timing tracking circuit which is suitable for copying a bit line discharge circuit. In the preferred embodiment, the replica bit line discharge circuit adopts a traditional column-type replica bit line circuit and 128bit cells/BL, so that no additional layout area is increased, and the capacitance of the single-side bit line is completely consistent with that of the traditional scheme. Fig. 1 illustrates a circuit configuration of a discharge switching module, a configurable SRAM sequential logic module, and a replica bit line discharge circuit. Wherein, a column copy bit line discharge circuit comprises: 2K Replica bit line discharge cells (RC) and J-bank redundancy cells (Dummy Cell, DC). Each replica bitline discharge cell RC has two inputs connected to the first replica wordline WL1, a second input connected to the second replica wordline WL2, a first output connected to the first replica bitline signal RBL1, and a second output connected to the second replica bitline signal RBL 2.
As can be seen from fig. 1, the replica bit line discharge circuit takes the first replica word line WL1 and the second replica word line WL2 as discharge control signals, so that the first replica bit line RBL1 and the second replica bit line RBL2 are alternately discharged by the replica bit line discharge circuit.
In the preferred embodiment, the second input terminals of the 1 st to K-th replica bit line discharge cells RC are set to be connected to the low level, that is, the second replica word line WL2 is connected to the low level; the first input terminal of the K +1 th to 2K th replica bit line discharging unit RC is set to be connected to a low level, i.e., the first replica word line WL1 is connected to a low level. The word line signals input to the remaining J groups of redundancy cells DC are all constantly at a low level.
Further, each of the replica bit line discharge cells RC is a word line separation type discharge cell. The word line separation type discharge cell adopts a '6T' structure. The word line separation type discharge cell has the first replica word line WL1 separated from the second replica word line WL 2. The internal nodes of the replica discharge cells RC are all connected to a high level, and the discharge path of the first replica bit line RBL1 and the discharge path of the second replica bit line RBL2 do not interfere with each other.
As shown in fig. 1, the discharging switching module takes a START signal START, a first replica bit line RBL1 and a second replica bit line RBL2 as input signals, and takes a clock pulse CK, a first replica word line WL1 and a second replica word line WL2 as output signals.
The operation steps of the discharge switching module are shown in fig. 2. When the sequential circuit does not work, the starting signal is in a low level, the copy bit line discharging circuit is in a reset state, and the discharging switching module enables the first copy bit line RBL1 and the second copy bit line RBL2 to be charged to a high level. The replica bit line discharge circuit is in a reset state, and the start signal is at a low level. First, when the START signal START is high, the discharging switching module first enables the first copy word line WL1 while the second copy word line WL2 becomes low, and the first copy bit line RBL1 is discharged through the 1 st to K-th copy bit line discharging units RC while the second copy bit line RBL2 is charged to high. In the second step, when the discharge of the first copy bit line RBL1 is completed, the discharge switching module makes the first copy word line WL1 go low while enabling the second copy word line WL2, and the second copy bit line RBL2 is discharged through the K +1 th to 2K th copy bit line discharge cells RC while the first copy bit line RBL1 is recharged to high. The third step is similar to the first step, and the fourth step is similar to the second step. Therefore, the discharge switching module generates a periodic clock pulse CK having a period of a sum of times of discharging the first replica bit line RBL1 and the second replica bit line RBL2 once each.

As can be seen from the signal waveforms shown in fig. 3, the discharge switching pattern implements pull-down and pull-UP control of the level of the node a by charging and discharging the first replica bit line RBL1 and the second replica bit line RBL2, i.e., alternation of the a _ DN waveform and the a _ UP waveform in the figure, so that the internal signal is cyclically inverted in a periodic manner. By means of this alternate cyclic discharge, the discharge switching module generates a periodic clock pulse CK. Since the first replica bit line RBL1 and the second replica bit line RBL2 are both discharged simultaneously by K replica discharge cells RC, a delay deviation of the discharge of the first replica bit line RBL1 and the discharge of the second replica bit line RBL2 is greatly reduced, and a signal period of the clock pulse CK is a sum of delays of the discharge of the first replica bit line RBL1 and the discharge of the second replica bit line RBL2 each once, so that the delay deviation of the clock pulse CK is also greatly reduced.
Example 3. The circuit structure of the configurable SRAM sequential logic module according to the present invention is shown in fig. 4. The configurable SRAM sequential logic module takes the clock pulse CK output by the discharge switching module as a clock signal of the sequential logic module, and outputs a sense amplifier signal SAE and a word line signal WL. The configurable SRAM sequential logic module comprises: a single pulse generating circuit and a pulse shifting circuit. The single PULSE generating circuit takes the clock PULSE CK as a clock signal of the circuit, the output signal is a PULSE signal PULSE, and the high-level PULSE width of the PULSE signal PULSE is consistent with the period of the clock PULSE CK.

The pulse shift circuit includes: the register comprises a configuration circuit, a register module, a first OR gate OR _1, a third register R _3 and a fourth register R _ 4.
Further, the first OR gate OR _1 is a two-input OR gate.
The register module is composed of 32 registers connected in series. The PULSE signal PULSE is an input signal of the register module, the clock PULSE CK is a clock signal of the register module, and the first output signal Q1, the second output signal Q2, … …, the thirty-second output signal Q32 are output signals of the register module, which serve as input signals of the configuration circuit.
The configuration circuit is constituted by a transmission gate, selects any one of the first output signal Q1, the second output signal Q2, … …, the thirty-second output signal Q32 as the configuration signal Conf _ out by the configuration signal, and is input to the data input terminal D of the third register R _3 and the first input terminal of the first OR gate OR _1 by the configuration circuit, respectively.

In the register module of the pulse shift circuit, because no additional combinational logic exists between the shift registers, the Setup timing violation does not occur. The number of the shift registers in the register module is selected by the configuration circuit to control the enabling time of the word line signal WL. The configuration circuit is composed of transmission gates, and selects and outputs any one of the first output signal Q1, the second output signal Q2, … …, and the thirty-second output signal Q32 by a configuration signal, which is the configuration signal Conf _ out. Therefore, when the number of the selected shift registers of the configuration circuit is M, the enable time of the word line signal WL is M clock CK cycles, the sense amplifier signal SAE is enabled in one clock CK cycle after the word line signal WL is turned off, the delay of the sense amplifier signal SAE is 1 clock CK cycle, the waveform of the sense amplifier signal SAE is shown in fig. 5, and the operating waveform of the configuration circuit is shown in fig. 6.

Furthermore, the seventh PMOS transistor P7 and the eighth PMOS transistor P8 are both PMOS transistors, and the fourth NMOS transistor N4 is an NMOS transistor.
Further, the second NAND gate NAND _2 is a two-input NAND gate.
The source electrode of the seventh PMOS tube P7 is connected with the working voltage, the drain electrode of the seventh PMOS tube P7 is connected with the output end of the dynamic circuit, and the grid electrode of the seventh PMOS tube P7 is connected with the output end of the ninth inverter INV _ 9; the source electrode of the eighth PMOS tube P8 is connected with one end of the first capacitor C1 and the drain electrode of the seventh PMOS tube P7, and the other end of the first capacitor C1 is grounded; the drain electrode of the eighth PMOS transistor P8 is connected to one end of the second capacitor C2 and the drain electrode of the fourth NMOS transistor N4, and the other end of the second capacitor C2 is grounded; the gate of the eighth PMOS transistor P8 and the gate of the fourth NMOS transistor N4 are connected to the output terminal of the second NAND gate NAND _ 2; the source electrode of the fourth NMOS transistor N4 is grounded; the input end of the ninth inverter INV _9 is connected to the output end of the second NAND gate NAND _ 2; the first input end of the second NAND gate NAND _2 is connected with a START signal START; the second input end of the second NAND gate NAND _2 is the second input end of the dynamic circuit and is connected with the input end of the inverter which takes the copy word line as an output signal; one end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the output end of the inverter which uses the copy word line as the output signal, and the other end of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the ground.
Further, the output end of the fourth inverter INV _4 and one end of the third capacitor C3, which are connected to the first dynamic circuit, are both connected to the first replica word line WL 1;
further, an output end of the sixth inverter INV _6 and one end of the third capacitor C3, which are connected to the second dynamic circuit, are both connected to the second replica word line WL 2.
When the START signal START is low, the entire timing module is in a reset state, the power supply voltage of the fourth inverter INV _4 with the first replica word line WL1 as an output signal and the sixth inverter INV _6 with the second replica word line WL2 as an output signal are charged to high level, and simultaneously the first capacitor C1 is charged and the second capacitor C2 is discharged through the fourth NMOS transistor N4; when the start signal is high, the timing module starts to operate.
Taking the first dynamic circuit as an example, the working condition of the dynamic circuit is specifically explained: when the first replica word line WL1 is enabled, the input WLB1 of the fourth inverter INV _4 is at low level, the output of the second NAND gate NAND _2 is at high level and turns off the seventh PMOS transistor P7, meanwhile, the eighth PMOS transistor P8 is turned on and the fourth nmos transistor N4 is turned off, at this time, since no charge is stored in the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, charge sharing is performed among the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, so that the supply voltage of the fourth inverter INV _4 is lower than the operating supply voltage, and the voltage of the first replica word line 1 is lower than the operating supply voltage; when the first replica word line WL1 is at a low level, the WLB1 of the fourth inverter INV _4 is at a high level, the NAND gate NAND _2 outputs at a low level and turns on the seventh PMOS transistor P7, so that the power supply voltage of the fourth inverter INV _4 is charged to the working power supply voltage, the first capacitor C1 is charged, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are both discharged, and the whole timing module returns to the initial state.
The second dynamic circuit operates as the first dynamic circuit.
Fig. 8 is a waveform diagram of the discharge switching module according to the present invention for implementing dynamic switching of the word line voltage of the replica cell. The discharge switching circuit enables the first replica word line WL1 and the second replica word line WL2 alternately, when the first replica word line WL1 is enabled, the supply voltage of the fourth inverter is dynamically lowered while the supply voltage of the sixth inverter is charged to the operating power supply voltage; conversely, when the second replica word line WL2 is enabled, the supply voltage of the sixth inverter is dynamically lowered while the supply voltage of the fourth inverter is charged to the operating supply voltage. Therefore, whether the first replica word line WL1 is enabled or the second replica word line WL2 is enabled, the word line voltage is dynamically reduced from 600mV to 520 mV. The dynamic reduction principle of the first replica word line WL1 voltage and the second replica word line WL2 voltage is charge sharing, that is, the word line voltage is determined by the size ratio among the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3, so the size ratio of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 can be adjusted to change the value of the word line voltage according to the practical application requirement.
Example 5. In the conventional circuit, the replica bit lines are connected by inverters, and the discharge voltage difference of the replica bit lines at a high voltage is different from that of the replica bit lines at a low voltage because the number of discharge cells needs to be changed to reduce the difference. Therefore, the discharging switching module provided by the invention can realize the constant discharging threshold voltage detection of the first copy bit line RBL1 and the constant discharging threshold voltage detection of the second copy bit line RBL2, so that the discharging voltage difference of the first copy bit line RBL1 and the discharging voltage difference of the second copy bit line RBL2 are kept constant under the condition of voltage change.
The first replica bit line constant discharge threshold voltage detection circuit includes: a first PMOS transistor P1, a third PMOS transistor P3, a first NMOS transistor N1, and a first inverter INV _ 1. When the first replica bit line RBL1 and the first precharge signal PRE1 become high level, the first replica bit line RBL1 starts to discharge, and when the first replica bit line RBL1 discharges to the threshold voltage of the third PMOS transistor P3, the third PMOS transistor P3 is turned on, so that the drain of the third PMOS transistor P3 becomes high level, and the discharge voltage difference of the first replica bit line RBL1 is the threshold voltage of the third PMOS transistor P3, and since the threshold voltage of the third PMOS transistor P3 does not substantially change with the voltage change, the discharge voltage difference of the first replica bit line RBL1 is constant.
The second replica bit line constant discharge threshold voltage detection circuit includes: a second PMOS transistor P2, a fourth PMOS transistor P4, a second NMOS transistor N2, and a second inverter INV _ 2. When the second replica bit line RBL2 and the second precharge signal PRE2 become high level, the second replica bit line RBL2 starts to discharge, and when the second replica bit line RBL2 discharges to the threshold voltage of the fourth PMOS transistor P4, the fourth PMOS transistor P4 is turned on, so that the drain of the fourth PMOS transistor P4 becomes high level, and the discharge voltage difference of the second replica bit line RBL2 is the threshold voltage of the fourth PMOS transistor P4, and since the threshold voltage of the fourth PMOS transistor P4 does not substantially change with the voltage change, the discharge voltage difference of the second replica bit line RBL2 is constant.
Therefore, when the voltage changes, the structure of the discharge circuit and the number of discharge units in the discharge circuit do not need to be changed, the discharge voltage difference under the high voltage is basically consistent with the discharge voltage difference under the low voltage, the design redundancy under the high voltage is eliminated, and the voltage tracking performance is improved.
