← ScienceWhich outcome results when SRAM cells experience deep sub-threshold voltages?
A)Increased bit errors due to tunneling✓
B)Reduced cell power consumption markedly
C)Faster read cycles become possible
D)Enhanced noise immunity significantly improves
💡 Explanation
Elevated bit errors occur because quantum tunneling allows electrons to pass through transistors even when they are nominally off. This is Tunneling Field Effect rather than reduced energy; the erroneous current flow flips bits therefore causing the errors, rather than reduced power.
