| | Cross-coupled inverters static random access memory - United States Patent 4,536,859 |
 | | A method of transferring data to and from a static random access memory cell on a single data line under control of a single transistor means for controlling the transfer of said data, said single transistor means having a control terminal connected to a single word line selectively supplying a control signal comprising: |
 | | The present invention relates to a static random access memory (referred to as RAM hereinbelow) and, more particularly, to a static RAM in which a pair of inverters are cross-coupled to form a memory element of a flip-flop. |
 | | Briefly described, in accordance with the present invention, a static RAM comprises a pair of inverters cross-coupled to form a flip-flop as a data memory element, an MOS transistor coupled between the flip-flop and a data line for reading/writing data, and a word line provided for a gate line for the MOS transistor. |
