With the explosive growth of battery-operated portable devices, demand for low power and small size has been increasing system-on-a-chip (SoC). The FinFET is considered as one most promising technologies future low-power mobile applications because its good scaling ability, high on-current, better SCE subthreshold slope, leakage current [1]. As a key approach low-power, supply-voltage (V<inf>DD</inf>) widely used in SoC design. However, SRAM limiting factor voltage-scaling, since all...

The power consumption of a mobile application processor (AP) is strongly limited by the SRAM minimum operating voltage, VMIN [1], since 6T bit cell must balance between write-ability and stability. However, scales down gradually with advanced process nodes due to increased variability. This evident quantized device-width process-knobs FinFET technology, which has greatly affected design [2–4]. Therefore, assist-circuits are more crucial in technology improve VMIN, turn adds Power,...
