3. The circuit below is a 6T SRAM cell. Let \( Q \) be initially high. The bit lines bit and \(\overline{b i t}\) are pre-charged to \( V_{D D}\) and then left floating before a read or write operation.
(a) Describe the operation when the cell is read.
(b) Describe the operation when a 0 is written to \( Q \).
(c) Between \( A_{1}\) and \( P_{1}\), which transistor should be made stronger? Between \( A_{1}\) and \( D_{1}\), which one should be stronger?
(d) Why two bit-lines (bit and \(\overline{b i t}\)) are needed in one cell?
(e) Sketch an SRAM column schematic that allows the above write operation. You only need to draw one cell in the column for illustration.
(f) What is the main advantage of the 6T SRAM cell compared to the case when the latch in (a) is used as a memory cell?
3 . The circuit below is a 6 T SRAM cell. Let \ (
