Abstract:
A memory macro includes a first set of memory cells, a second set of memory cells and a set of conductive lines. The first set of memory cells is arranged in columns and rows. Each memory cell of the first set of memory cells includes a voltage supply node configured to receive a first voltage of a first supply voltage or a second voltage of a second supply voltage. The second set of memory cells includes a set of retention circuits configured to supply the second voltage of the second supply voltage to the first set of memory cells during a sleep operational mode. The set of conductive lines is coupled to the set of retention circuits and the voltage supply node of each memory cell of the first set of memory cells.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of operating a memory macro, the method comprising:\n changing an operational mode of a first set of memory cells of the memory macro from a first mode to a second mode in response to a first signal, the first signal indicating the operational mode of the first set of memory cells, the changing the operational mode comprises:\n turning on or off a retention circuit based on the first signal, the retention circuit being part of a second set of memory cells; and \n adjusting a voltage provided to the first set of memory cells, \n wherein the retention circuit is coupled to the first set of memory cells by at least a first conductive line or a second conductive line, and at least one of the following configurations: (a) the first set of memory cells, the second set of memory cells and the retention circuit are arranged in a column of the memory macro; or (b) the first set of memory cells, the second set of memory cells and the retention circuit are arranged in a row of the memory macro.
