The goal of this course aims to learn the fundamental memory circuits and to gain the basic understanding of hierarchy memory system design methodology. The first part of the course focuses on the embedded-memory circuit design from latches, register file, SRAM, CAM to embedded DRAM and embedded non-volatile memory. We then discuss the design challenges and techniques of high-performance SRAM in nanoscale CMOS technologies. The impacts of technology scaling, such as signal loss due to leakage and degradation of noise margin due to Vt scatter are addressed. Design directions and leakage/variation/degradation tolerant SRAM circuit techniques to mitigate various performance and reliability constraints are discussed and examples are given and merits discussed. Alternative cell structures for low-voltage SRAM. Some design issues and opportunities in advanced technologies are illustrated. The second part of the course covers the basics of DRAM and embedded NVRAM. It is intended to introduce the students to the basic idea, cell structure, and sensing schemes of these memories. The third part of this course is to discuss the hierarchy memory system from the aspect of applications, including memory interface, 3D memory, memory coherence and computation-in-memory.
