Paper Abstract
Local memory architecture plays an important role in high performance massively parallel vision chip. In this paper, we propose an enhanced memory architecture with compact circuit area designed in a full-custom flow. The memory consists of separate master-stage static latches and shared slave-stage dynamic latches. We use split transmission transistors on the input data path to enhance tolerance for charge sharing and to achieve random read/write capabilities. The memory is designed in a 0.18 μm CMOS process. The area overhead of the memory achieves 16.6 μm2/bit. Simulation results show that the maximum operating frequency reaches 410 MHz and the corresponding peak dynamic power consumption for a 64-bit memory unit is 190 μW under 1.8 V supply voltage.
