Summary

Description
English: Leakage current discharges the storage capacitor. This simple schematics highlight the basic idea behind retention time, that is the duration for which a cell can reliably store data without being refreshed. Here represented as the time between the last refresh cycle and the time at which the storage node voltage reaches the trigger voltage of the sense amplifier.
