    摘要: A single-ended sense amplifier and a memory device including the same are presented. A sense amplifier, which senses and amplifies data of a memory cell, may include a precharge circuit pre-charging a data line which is connected to the memory cell and provides a sensing voltage, and a reference line which provides a reference voltage, with a power supply voltage; a reference voltage generating circuit which generates the reference voltage by discharging the reference line based on a reference current, and adjusts an amount of the reference current based on the data of the memory cell; and a comparator which compares the sensing voltage and the reference voltage, and outputs a comparison result as the data of the memory cell.

    摘要: There is provided a circuit for controlling the setup/hold time of a semiconductor device, including: a setup/hold on signal generator for generating a setup/hold on signal of the semiconductor device; a comparison signal generator for converting the difference between pulse widths of the setup on signal and hold on signal of the setup/hold on signal generator into the voltage difference across an inner capacitor, to generate a comparison signal for the setup/hold time; a comparison signal detector for detecting the comparison signal generated by the comparison signal generator and amplifying it to a predetermined level; a clock delay path selection signal generator for generating a clock delay path selection signal according to the level of the signal detected by the comparison signal detector; and a clock/command signal processor for outputting a clock signal and command signal applied to input pads as an inner clock signal and inner command signal whose delays are compensated according to the clock delay path selection signal, to thereby sufficiently secure the margin of the setup/hold time.
