The ASIC design of a 4K bit mask-programmable CMOS ROM is introduced
and the ROM has a small area of 0.082mm
2
with a power-delay product of 0.036PJ/bit.The high packing density and the excellent power-delay product have been achieved by using double well
single polysilicon
double metal 0.6μm CMOS technology and a serial ROM cell structure.The power supply currents in active and quiescent modes are 1.2mA and less than 0.1μA at +5V
respectively.Using a novel and simple sensitive amplifier/driver structure efficiently reduces the memory access time.The memory access time is 36ns.
