Block-based multiperiod dynamic memory design for low data-retention power.

Block-based multiperiod dynamic memory design for low data-retention power.

Dynamic random access memorys (DRAMs) are widely used in portable applications due to their high storage density. In standby mode, the main source of DRAM power dissipation is the refresh operation that periodically restores leaking charge in each memory cell to its correct level. Conventional DRAMs...
