\section{Further Design Ideas}
|
||||||
|
I discovered -- from other people in the class -- that an 8-column design was plausible.
|
||||||
|
Unfortunately, I was only convinced a day or so before the project was due, which did not give me
|
||||||
|
enough time to redesign my SRAM. I have seen students successfully using
|
||||||
|
the 8-column design by sharing \textsc{Wl} wires for each 'row', and using
|
||||||
|
the remaining 3 bits to enable and disable the write block. Since reading does
|
||||||
|
not change the cell value, this is a viable approach; all 8 columns would ``read''
|
||||||
|
(except during writing, in which 7 columns would read and 1 would write). As
|
||||||
|
long as a proper address selection mechanism is implemented into the read collector
|
||||||
|
circuit (which at present cannot handle concurrent reads), this would work just
|
||||||
|
fine, albeit at the expense of added power consumption (from draining and re-charging
|
||||||
|
7 extra wires). This design, combined with my idea of placing the write block
|
||||||
|
in the middle of the column, can lead to very short effective wire lengths. If
|
||||||
|
I was to approach this project again, that's what I would try.
|
||||||
|

||||||

\section{Acknowledgements}
|
||||||
|
Reed's aforementioned idea of sharing well contacts between adjacent cells
|
||||||
|
played a part in my design. Also, without the other students in the class
|
||||||
|
Discord, I would not have known to use the ``better'' wire model at all.
