The Recall operation works under any ramping rate of SRAM's power line voltage and Flash gate signal which can be set higher than only Vt0 or both Vt0 and Vt1. Alternatively, the Store operation can use a current charging scheme from a Fpower line to the paired Q and QB nodes of each SRAM cell through a paired Flash Voltage Follower that stored ΔVtp≧1.0V. The Recall operation in this alternative embodiment is to use a 7-step approach with the FN-channel erase, FN-channel program and FN-edge program schemes, including 2-step SRAM amplification. | 04-24-2014 |

There is no need of Program-Inhibit Voltage (SBPI) to inhibit non-select flash transistor from programming. In addition, this 8T NVSRAM cell uses DRAM-like charge-sensing scheme to detect the ΔV on Q and QB nodes of SRAM in which is coupled and generated from the ΔVt12 stored in MC1 and MC2 flash transistors. | 05-01-2014 |
