    摘要: A sensing circuit includes a sensing resistor, a reference resistor and a comparator. The comparator has a first input coupled to the sensing resistor, a second input coupled to the reference resistor, and an output. The first input is configured to be coupled to a data bit line associated with a memory cell to receive a sensing input voltage caused by a cell current of the memory cell flowing through the sensing resistor. The second input is configured to be coupled to a reference bit line associated with a reference cell to receive a sensing reference voltage caused by a reference current of the reference cell flowing through the reference resistor. The comparator is configured to generate, at the output, an output signal indicating a logic state of data stored in the memory cell based on a comparison between the sensing input voltage and the sensing reference voltage.

    摘要: A method of operating a charge pump of a phase-lock assistant circuit includes determining a first relative timing relationship of a phase of a data signal to a phase of a first phase clock. A second relative timing relationship of the phase of the data signal to a phase of a second phase clock is determined, and the first and second phase clocks have a 45° phase difference. An up signal and a down signal are generated in response to the first relative timing relationship and the second relative timing relationship. The charge pump circuit is driven according to the up signal and the down signal.
