VOLTAGE CONTROLLER |
摘要 |
A voltage controller is provided that is connected to a voltage inducing circuit which is connected to a static random-access memory (SRAM) cell. The voltage controller comprises a voltage clamping circuit and a pull up circuit. The voltage clamping circuit comprises one or more transistors. The voltage clamping circuit is configured to inhibit a second voltage of a second signal at a second node of the voltage inducing circuit from exceeding a first specified voltage threshold so that a fifth voltage of a fifth signal at a fifth node of the voltage inducing circuit is inhibited from exceeding a second specified voltage threshold. The pull up circuit is configured to maintain the second voltage substantially equal to a specified pull up voltage. The fifth node is connected to the SRAM cell, and a voltage to which the SRAM cell is exposed is thereby controlled. |

1. A voltage controller, configured to couple to a voltage inducing circuit that is connected to a static random-access memory (SRAM) cell, comprising:
a voltage clamping circuit comprising a clamp enabling transistor that has a drain connected to a second node of the voltage inducing circuit and a source connected to a first voltage clamping transistor, the voltage clamping circuit configured to inhibit a second voltage of a second signal at the second node from exceeding a first specified voltage threshold to inhibit a fifth voltage of a fifth signal at a fifth node of the voltage inducing circuit from exceeding a second specified voltage threshold, where the fifth node is connected to the SRAM cell; a first voltage controller transistor connected to a first voltage source and to the second node; and a second voltage controller transistor connected to a second voltage source and to the second node. |
