Abstract

A memory device and array which includes a static random access memory (SRAM) circuit coupled to a non-volatile circuit, such as a ferroelectric-RAM (F-RAM) circuit, in which the F-RAM circuit stores a bit of data from the SRAM circuit during power-out periods, the F-RAM circuit is further coupled to bit-line(s) to output the bit of data stored in the F-RAM circuit when operation power is restored.
