Popis: A 64-kbyte snoopy cache memory was developed. The modified double word-line architecture with word-line buffers resulted in a large-size memory and a time-multiplex snoop operation by the pseudo-two-port method with a single-port cell. The flexible expandability was achieved by cascading multiple cache memories. The device was successfully implemented with 1.0- mu m double-polysilicon and double-metal CMOS technology. Low-power sense amplifiers and comparators limited power dissipation to 0.5 W at 40 MHz. >
