    Abstract: A memory device includes at least one bitcell coupled to a local bitline. The at least one bitcell includes multiple sets of a plurality of transistor devices. The first set of the plurality of transistor devices is configured to form a single write (1W) port for receiving digital data. The second set of the plurality of transistor devices is configured as an inverter pair. The inverter pair stores the digital data. The third set of the plurality of transistor devices is configured to form a single read (1R) port. The 1R port can be used to access the digital data stored at the inverter pair and output the digital data on the local bitline. The plurality of transistor devices includes an equal number of P-channel transistor devices and N-channel transistor devices.

    Abstract: Described is a level-shifter that can save area between voltage domains with limited voltage differential, and further save power by steering current between two power supply rails. The level-shifter comprises: an input to receive a first signal between a first reference rail and a second reference rail; an output to provide a second signal the first reference rail and a third reference rail, wherein in a voltage level of the third reference rail is higher than a voltage level of the second reference rail, and wherein a voltage level of the first reference is lower than the voltage level of the second reference rail and the third reference rail; and a circuitry coupled to the input and the output, wherein the circuitry is to steer current from the third reference rail to the second reference rail.
