Help Needed on 12 Transistor CMOS SRAM Cell Schematic

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking assistance with a schematic for a 12 transistor CMOS SRAM cell. The user understands the implementation of inverters and transmission gates but is confused about inverting the buffer input and integrating the components. A response clarifies that the input inversion may simply be a different representation of an inverter and does not impact functionality. The user expresses relief at this clarification, indicating a better understanding of the schematic. Overall, the conversation highlights common challenges in designing SRAM cells and the importance of clear schematic representation.

I am looking for help on a schematic for a 12 transistor CMOS SRAM cell shown below. I understand how to implement the inverter and transmission gates and how a tri state inverter works, but I am confused when it comes to inverting the input of the buffer and how to tie it all together. Thanks in advance.

In terms of "inverting the input of the buffer", it may just be an inverter drawn that way. I'm not familiar with many 12T SRAM circuits, but I believe that an inverter is just an inverter, and showing the inversion circle at the input of the symbol instead of at the output doesn't affect anything (I could be wrong -- I can check at work on Monday).
 
That makes sense, I'm not sure why I got so bogged down in the difference in the symbol. Thanks.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
