Apparatus and method for static random access memory array

摘要

A static random access memory array (200) with power supplies and an array biasing scheme is disclosed. A power supply (202) has an output voltage that is applied to the bitlines (40). The output voltage pre-charges the bitlines (40) to read from the memory cells (10). An array power supply (204) has an array voltage that is applied to the memory cells. The array voltage is higher than the output voltage. The array power supply (204) is drived by boosting the output voltage of the power supply (202).
