Memory device with trimmable power gating capabilities
Abstract:
A memory device includes at least one memory cell including a storage element electrically connected with a source potential line. A drive strength of the storage element is controlled as a function of a voltage level on the source potential line. The memory device further includes a clamp circuit electrically connected between the source potential line and a voltage source. The clamp circuit is operative to regulate the voltage level on the source potential line relative to the voltage source. A control circuit of the memory device is connected with the source potential line. The control circuit is operative to adjust the voltage level on the source potential line as a function of an operational mode of the memory device. A coarseness by which the voltage level on the source potential line is adjusted is selectively controlled as a function of at least a first control signal.
