System and method for performing address-based SRAM access assists
Abstract
A method and a system are provided for performing address-based memory access assist. An address is received for a memory access and a determination is made, based on the address, that access assist is enabled for at least one storage cell corresponding to the address. The access assist is applied to the at least one storage cell to perform the memory access.
