Abstract: The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to sensing circuit for a memory and methods of use. The memory includes a self-referenced sense amp that is structured to calibrate its individual pre-charge based on a trip-point, with autonomous pre-charge activation circuitry that starts pre-charging a sense-line on each unique entry as soon as a sense has been performed or completed.

Abstract: A structure includes a write driver circuit configured to drive both a true bitline side and a complement bitline side up to a power supply and down to ground such that one of the true bitline side and the complement bitline side is driven to ground and another of the true bitline side and the complement bitline side is driven to a high level at a same time and before a precharge below a level of the power supply of the one of the true bitline side and the complement bitline side.
