  • Abstract
    We review circuit techniques aimed at improving read and write stability of the smallest 6T SRAM cell typically used in microprocessorpsilas Last Level cache (LLC). We qualitatively compare three main approaches and give a designerpsilas perspective on the pros and cons of the different schemes.
