Conclusion

This study proposed a lower power RHBD HP12T SRAM cell. We obtained the following results about HP12T SRAM cell: (1) it can successfully complete normal access and hold operations; (2) it can tolerate heavy-ion striking with LET = 99.8 MeV-cm2/mg even though the charge-sharing effect is considered; (3) it has lower power consumption and comparable access time and SNMs when compared with classical and state-of-the-art SRAM cells.
