Abstract

The present invention provides a six transistor static random-access memory (6T-SRAM) cell, the 6T-SRAM cell includes a first inverter comprising a first pull-up transistor and a first pull-down transistor, and a first storage node, a second inverter comprising a second pull-up transistor, a second pull-down transistor, and a second storage node, wherein the first storage node is coupled to gates of the second pull-up transistor and the second pull-down transistor, a switch transistor configured to couple the second storage node to gates of the first pull-up transistor and the first pull-down transistor, and an access transistor coupled to gates of the first pull-up transistor and the first pull-down transistor.
