Abstract: 

Latest technology in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) system memories is fully depends onpower, size and cost. Generally static based memory is using to make memory devices. But the dis-advantages of static memory are logically less compatible, power consumption, high silicon foot print. Dynamic Efficient-Cell Enhanced Random Access Memory (DEC-ERAM) is proposed to overcome these drawbacks as compared static based memory. DEC-ERAM can store voltage with different level in a cell. In this paper the experiment was done ina three level storage within a cell. The area is directly proportional to memory to increase its capacity. DEC-ERAM was modeled in a sixty five (65 nm) technology using low overhead CMOS standard, fifty percent virtual display driver for device writes and equidistant composed of inclined sense DC-AC converter for components readout. DEC-ERAM provides 3X reduction and this approach reduce the area to almost 50% when compared to static DRAM.
