As a consequence, for a nondestructive read operation, the bitline is precharged to a voltage Vpc=600 mV<Vcc=1.8 V. A 128 Kb memory, based on the 5T SRAM cell, has 23% smaller area, 75% lower bitline leakage, and a read/write performance comparable to a conventional 6T SRAM.

The parasitic capacitance canceller is connected in parallel with the load capacitance of the T/H circuit and acts as a negative capacitance. The proposed T/H circuit can reduce by 26 % its chip area and by 37 % its power dissipation compared with those of a conventional one, since the cancellation circuit equivalently reduces the load capacitance of the T/H circuit. The proposed T/H circuit is applied to a 4-Gb/s 5-bit flash ADC, fabricated in a 90 nm CMOS process. Thanks to the cancellation circuit, there is not only a reduction of its power consumption but also an extension of its bandwidth. In particular, the bandwidth is extended up to 2 GHz.

The effect is that low temperature forces the FBB-controlled LSI to increase its performance. The TSFC reduced power consumption by 28% without any performance degradation compared with the conventional FBB technique. We also found and analyzed the dual parasitic bipolar modes in the FBB system by evaluating a test chip fabricated in 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. Moreover, the influence of supply and substrate wire resistances in the FBB system was found to be not significant.
