Estimate the dimensions of the SRAM array in Exercise 12.1 using a 1.3 × 1.44 Rm SRAM cell, assuming periphery circuitry adds 10% to each dimension of the core.
Exercise 12.1
1. An embedded SRAM contains 2048 8-bit words. If it is physically arranged in a square fashion, how many inputs does each column multiplexer require?
2. Sketch designs for a 6:64 decoder with and without predecoding. Comment on the pros and cons of predecoding.
