Hi all,

I have been out of ASIC design for sometime now. Just want to check if using a cell library would the cell library also provide the ability to initialize small RAM modules ? , Say 128 byes or so. I am wondering if this is going to be SRAM based with simple access interface, could you provide the interface signals

Also just wondering that if the advantage of using SRAM over storing in FF is that power and speed are improved ?

Any help is much appreciated
 

no. SRAM is not a standard cell. you need something called a memory compiler. SRAM is much much smaller than a flop. bitcells are tiny.
