Abstract

An SRAM array is disclosed. The SRAM array includes a plurality of SRAM cells. In one embodiment, the SRAM cells are 6-T SRAM cells that further includes a voltage bias device. The voltage bias device raises the voltage level of a low voltage rail Vss such that the plurality of SRAM cells are connected to a raised low voltage rail.
