Memory cell flipping for mitigating SRAM BTI |
摘要 |
An apparatus may comprise a memory cell configured to operate according to a voltage mode, a voltage controller coupled with the memory cell, wherein the voltage controller is configured to change the voltage mode of the memory cell between a low voltage mode and a high voltage mode, and a memory controller module coupled with the memory cell, wherein the memory controller is configured to invert a logic state stored in the memory cell based on the voltage mode. |

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory cell configured to operate according to a voltage mode; a voltage controller coupled with the memory cell, wherein the voltage controller is configured to change the voltage mode of the memory cell between a low voltage mode and a high voltage mode, wherein during operation in the low voltage mode a first logic state in the memory cell corresponds to a low voltage and a second logic state in the memory cell corresponds to a low operating voltage that is higher than the low voltage, and wherein during operation in the high voltage mode the second logic state corresponds to a high operating voltage that is higher than the low operating voltage; and a memory controller module coupled with the memory cell, wherein the memory controller is configured to invert a logic state stored in the memory cell based on the voltage mode. |
