发明名称 Low leakage ROM architecture
摘要 Read only memory (ROM) with minimum leakage is provided. The ROM includes a read only memory array. The read only memory array includes a first transistor, wherein a drain, a source, a gate, and a bulk of the first transistor is electrically connected to a logic zero in the idle state for ensuring zero junction and sub-threshold leakage current. Another ROM includes a first transistor comprising a gate, electrically connected to a word line to provide a read signal, a drain, electrically connected to a main bit line through a second transistor. The second transistor includes a gate, electrically connected to a first decoding circuit, a drain, electrically connected to the main bit line. A first reference bit line is electrically connected to a drain of a third transistor, wherein gate of the third transistor is electrically connected to a second decoding circuit for generating a stop read signal. A second reference bit line, electrically connected to the first decoding circuit through a first sensing unit for generating a stop pre-charge signal. Further, a reference word line is electrically connected to a gate of a fourth transistor.
