An 8 Mb embedded DRAM has been developed. The salient feature of this
embedded DRAM is page fault tolerance, Accessing across different page
s can be performed using a minimum column cycle, This feature is achie
ved by placing a data latch and a transfer gate between the bit line s
ense amlifier and the column select gate, This DRAM can be reconfigure
d as separated 2 Mb units when it is embedded as a macro cell of an AS
IC library.
