Abstract
This paper presents an experimental lkb GaAs MESFET static RAM using a novel high speed memory cell. The array overcomes the subtbreshold leakage currents drawbacks inherent to conventional cell using a particular word/bit lines biasing. Power consumption is reduced by powering down the parts of the array not selected. An address access time of 1ns with 20 mA/cell power consumption has been obtained. The RAM can be operated at the single supply voltage of IV up to 2V.
