ABSTRACT:
Circuits and methods are provided to implement low voltage, higher performance semiconductor memory devices such as CMOS static random access memory (SRAM) or multi-port register files. For example, circuits and methods are provided for dynamically adjusting power supply and/or ground line voltages that are applied to the memory cells during different modes of memory operation to enable low voltage, high performance operation of the memory devices.
