What is 6T SRAM cell?
The SRAM memory cell made of two cross-coupled inverters (four transistors) and two access transistors.
Field: SRAM and flash memory
6T SRAM cell in the explanations
DRAM's small 1T1C cell (about 6F²) packs roughly 20 times denser than a 6T SRAM cell (about 120–150F²), lowering cost per bit.
Compared with SRAM, which is a characteristic of DRAM?A 6T SRAM cell combines a latch of two cross-coupled inverters (four transistors), each feeding the other's input, with two access transistors connecting it to the bit lines.
