However, random access cycle time of conventional eDRAMs remains around 6 ns. In this work, a novel destructive-read architecture that reduces the random access cycle time of an eDRAM by delaying the data write back operation to a later cycle is demonstrated. A single-ended direct sensing is employed to further speed up the random access cycle time of the eDRAM to 2.9ns.","PeriodicalId":162493,"journal":{"name":"2002 Symposium on VLSI Circuits.
