20150085566 | INPUT TRIGGER INDEPENDENT LOW LEAKAGE MEMORY CIRCUIT - Wordline-driver biasing and column-based source-biasing circuitry facilitate reduced current leakage, for example, in SoC device SRAM circuits in a manner that is independent of the read/write/standby operating mode, and without an external trigger. Wordline-driver-biasing circuitry turns off (i.e., decouples from system power) wordline-drivers that are connected to unselected wordlines during read/write operations using one of a decoder-enable signal, which is generated in response to row address values, or based on the activation of a self-timing internal clock, which is generated by the memory circuit when it is activated (i.e., switched from standby to read/write mode). Alternatively, or in addition, source-biasing circuitry applies a relatively high source-biasing voltage to the source terminals of memory cells in unselected columns during read/write operations based on column address values (i.e., a low source voltage is applied only to the selected column being written to or read from). | 03-26-2015 |
