    Abstract: A sensing amplifier for a memory cell comprises a selection stage that outputs one of a reference current and a memory cell current during a first period and the other of the reference current and the memory cell current during a second period. The first period and the second period are non-overlapping. An input stage generates a first current based on the one of the reference current and the memory cell current during the first period and generates a second current based on the other of the reference current and the memory cell current during the second period. A sensing stage senses a first value based on the first current and stores the first value during the first period, senses a second value based on the second current during the second period and compares the first value to the second value.
