18.7For the SRAM cell considered in Exercise 18.6, whose (W/L)n = 2 and (W/L)a ≤ 7.4, use Eq. (18.25) to determine the read delay ∆t in two cases: (a) (W/L)a = 7.4 and (b) (W/L)a = 2. Let μnCox = 450 µA/V2. In both cases, assume that image = 2 pF and that the sense amplifier requires a ∆V of minimum magnitude of 0.15 V. (Hint: Use Eq. 18.19 to determine I5, and Eq. 18.21 to determine .)
