Abstract
A 9-ns 16-Mb CMOS SRAM has been developed using a 0.35-mu m CMOS proce ss. The current-mode fully nonequalized data path has been realized in CMOS SRAM for the first time by using a stabilized feedback current-s ense amplifier (SFCA) that provides a small input resistance and an of fset compensation effect. To reduce the test time, a bit-line wired-OR parallel test circuit has been implemented.
