With CMOS technology scaling down to 65nm or below, Leakage current and leakage power and sub-threshold leakage current has been primary challenges for SRAM design and fabrication. In this paper, we introduce a low leakage and low power 8T SRAM cell. This cell is very essential for low power applications. The proposed 8T SRAM cell has been improve the dynamic current and reduces the leakage current and leakage power. To determine the performance of 8T SRAM cell under 45nm technology, we need to orCad pSpice A/D tool. This tool is very essential for transient analysis to calculate the yield accurately and efficiently. This paper presents the analysis and simulation of 8T SRAM cell with different parameters such as leakage current, leakage power and dynamic current.
