coolSRAM-6T
coolSRAM-6T embedded memory IP is an ideal solution for ASIC, ASSP and System-on-Chip (SoC) applications with stringent power, speed or area requirements. Embedded coolSRAM-6T is designed to deliver the best performance and power characteristics at any given instance size.
coolSRAM-6T is used in circuits which requires ultra fast speed. This can be complemented with coolSRAM-1T for high density blocks.
The coolSRAM-6T IP is based on the production proven, foundry-provided 6T SRAM cell and offers advanced leakage control features, near zero setup times and optional column and row redundancy.
Like all Mentor embedded coolMemory IP, coolSRAM-6T can be customized via the MemQuest memory compiler, a Web-based on-line tool suite that enables the SoC designer to specify and implement custom memories in a matter of minutes.
