Abstract
A new FRAM design method utilising the bit-plate parallel cell architecture is presented. This method is effective in reducing circuit and layout overhead caused by on-pitch plate control circuitry. It also reduces the power consumption in memory array. Implementation results for a 0.13 μm, 512 kb FRAM prototype show that the memory block area in the proposed architecture is 15.6% less than that of the conventional structure.
