碩士 === 南台科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 97 === Nowadays, due to the technology development grows rapidly, the requirement for the memory and its capacity in portable devices such as mobile phone or PDA is increasing progressively. However, the method of designing SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) by full custom methodology will increase the working hours and the cost. Due to these problem we proposed a SRAM compiler that can generate layout automatically. The compiler will generate the SRAM layout automatically according to user’s inputs selected by users. We have established the leaf cells such as row decoders, column decoders, core cells, clock buffers and word line buffers for the cell library. We have designed various dimension of leaf cells in each part, and then analysis their timing delay. The timing analysis provides the compiler to generate the optimal SRAM layout.
