摘要
An enhanced method of writing and reading a memory device, such as an SRAM using negative differential resistance (NDR) elements), is disclosed. This is done through selective control of biasing of the active elements in a memory cell. For example in a write operation, a memory cell is placed in an intermediate state to increase write speed. In an NDR based embodiments, this is done by reducing a bias voltage to NDR FETs so as to weaken the NDR element (and thus disable an NDR effect) during the write operation. Conversely, during a read operation, the bias voltages are increased to enhance peak current (as well as an NDR effect), and thus provide additional current drive to a BIT line. Embodiments using such procedures achieve superior peak to valley current ratios (PVR), read/write speed, etc.
