his paper addresses a, novel eight transistor (8T) CMOS SRAM cell design to enhance the stability and to reduce dynamic and leakage power. For the validation of proposed 8T SRAM cell, compared results with reported data. The parameters used in the proposed cell are comparable to the existing 8T SRAM cell at same technology and design rules. The stability of the proposed cell has been analyzed using N-curve metrics. Write operation is achieved in the proposed 8T SRAM cell by charging / discharging single Bit Line (BL), which results in reduction of dynamic power consumption. The proposed 8T SRAM cell has achieved 38.33% dynamic power reduction and 25.31% reduction in leakage power comparing with the reported data of 8T SRAM cell, which validate the desired design approach.
