Abstract :
This paper discusses the Static Noise Margin (SNM) for various configurations of latches, including radiation hardened latches using Schmitt Triggers with CMOS and CNFET models both., using the Butterfly Curve method. A bitcell is proposed based on the latch with the highest SNM, and its readability and writeability is estimated via the N-Curve method. Comparisons are made between the proposed 10T CNFET biteell and the basic 6T CMOS bitcell.
