    Abstract: An open bit line dynamic random access memory (DRAM) architecture uses a multiple layer bit line configuration to reduce coupling between switching bit lines in the device. In one approach, each successive cell within a row of DRAM cells is coupled to a bit line segment that is on a different metallization layer than a previous cell in the row. Shielding members are also provided between adjacent bit lines on a common metallization layer to further reduce noise coupling. Functionality is also provided for reducing the effect of word line to bit line coupling in the DRAM device using dummy signal injection techniques. In this manner, common mode noise that could otherwise saturate one or more sense amplifiers within the DRAM device is reduced or eliminated before such saturation can take place. In one approach, dummy cells and reference cells are provided for use in performing the signal injection. The principles of the present invention are particularly well suited for use within embedded DRAM structures where low charge storage capacity within individual cells reduces the signal voltage levels that are achievable.

    Abstract: An approach for power reduction of an integrated circuit device. In response to detecting a change in an activity factor associated with an integrated circuit device from a first activity factor to a second activity factor, a supply voltage and a body bias associated with the integrated circuit device are adjusted based on the second activity factor to reduce power consumption. For one aspect, the supply voltage and body bias are adjusted to maintain a substantially constant operating frequency for the integrated circuit device.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention includes an integrated circuit including a bitline and a bitline#, wordlines, and memory cells. The memory cells each corresponding to one of the wordlines and each include first and second pass transistors coupled between first and second storage nodes, respectively, and the bitline and bitline#, respectively, the corresponding wordline being coupled to gates of the first and second pass transistors. The memory cells include first and second inverters cross-coupled between the first and second storage nodes, wherein the first and second pass transistors each have a lower threshold voltage than do transistors of the first and second inverters. Wordline voltage control circuitry coupled to the wordlines selectively controls wordline signals on the wordlines. In some embodiments, the wordline voltage control circuitry asserts the wordline signal for a selected wordline corresponding to a memory cell selected to be read and underdrives the wordline signals for the wordlines not corresponding to the selected memory cell.
