Abstract
A memory generator is a tool which can create memories (RAM or ROM blocks) in a range of sizes as needed. The customer usually wants a particular number of words (depth) and bits (width) for each memory ordered. This paper describes a method for transistor sizing which achieves well-behaved memory designs over the full design space. This method reduces the design time and effort by permitting the designer to focus on four designs at the extreme corners of the design space
