ABSTRACT:
An SRAM device include: a latch unit for retaining data; one or more pass gate transistors controlled by a word line for coupling the latch unit to a bit line and a complementary bit line; and a power saving module coupled to the latch unit for raising a source voltage of the latch unit in response to a control signal on the word line, thereby reducing a leakage current for the latch unit.
