MEMORY DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF: abstract simplified (17715959)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 17715959 Titled 'MEMORY DEVICE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a memory device that includes memory cells. Each memory cell consists of a static random access memory (SRAM) cell and a non-volatile memory cell. The SRAM cell stores complementary data at two storage nodes. The non-volatile memory cell replicates and retains the data from the SRAM cell before it loses power. Once power is restored, the replicated data is rewritten back to the SRAM cell.

Original Abstract Submitted

A memory device and an operation method thereof are provided. The memory device includes memory cells, each having a static random access memory (SRAM) cell and a non-volatile memory cell. The SRAM cell is configured to store complementary data at first and second storage nodes. The non-volatile memory cell is configured to replicate and retain the complementary data before the SRAM cell loses power supply, and to rewrite the replicated data to the first and second storage nodes of the SRAM cell after the power supply of the SRAM cell is restored.
