EMBER: Efficient Multiple-Bits-Per-Cell Embedded RRAM Macro for High-Density Digital Storage

EMBER: Efficient Multiple-Bits-Per-Cell Embedded RRAM Macro for High-Density Digital Storage 150 150
Author(s): Akash Levy, Luke R. Upton, Michael D. Scott, Dennis Rich, Win-San Khwa, Yu-Der Chih, Meng-Fan Chang, Subhasish Mitra, Boris Murmann, Priyanka Raina

Abstract:

Designing compact and energy-efficient resistive RAM (RRAM) macros is challenging due to: 1) large read/write circuits that decrease storage density; 2) low-conductance cells that increase read latency; and 3) the pronounced effects of routing parasitics on high-conductance cell read energy. Multiple-bits-per-cell RRAM can boost storage density but has further challenges resulting from …

A Single-Ended Impedance-Matched Transmitter With Single Ring-Oscillator-Based Time-Domain ZQ Calibration for Memory Interfaces

A Single-Ended Impedance-Matched Transmitter With Single Ring-Oscillator-Based Time-Domain ZQ Calibration for Memory Interfaces 150 150
Author(s): Jaekwang Yun, Sangyoon Lee, Jaewook Kim, Joo-Hyung Chae, Suhwan Kim, Yong-Un Jeong

Abstract:

The proposed single-ended transmitter for memory interfaces is an impedance-matched transmitter that utilizes a single ring-oscillator-based time-domain ZQ calibration. This ZQ calibration technique eliminates the offsets by using a gain-controlled ring oscillator with late-case forcing, resulting in low maximum/average error rates. The transmitter incorporates a phase equalization method to …
