    摘要: A sensing circuit with current offset functionality. In one embodiment, the sensing circuit includes a memory circuit having a first offset circuit operative to offset a first current. The sensing circuit also includes a reference circuit coupled to the memory circuit, where the reference circuit includes a second offset circuit operative to offset a second current. The sensing circuit also includes a compare circuit coupled to the memory circuit and the reference circuit, where the compare circuit determines the state of a memory cell based on first current and the second current. According to the system disclosed herein, the first and second offset circuits optimize the performance of the sensing circuit and prevent errors when determining the state of the memory cell.

    摘要: A memory system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the memory system includes a first bitline, where the first bitline produces a first transient current. The memory system also includes a sense amplifier coupled to the first bitline. The memory system also includes a second bitline coupled to the sense amplifier, where the second bitline produces a second transient current that is equal to the first transient current. The sense amplifier enables the first and second transient currents to be canceled. According to the system disclosed herein, the state of a memory cell may be determined without being adversely affected by transient currents.

    摘要: A sense amplifier circuit for reading the state of memory cells. In one aspect of the invention, the sense amplifier circuit includes a first stage receiving a cell current derived from the memory cell and a reference current derived from a reference cell, and a second stage receiving the cell current and the reference current. A comparator, coupled to the first stage and the second stage, provides an output indicative of the state of the memory cell based on a difference of the voltages provided by the first stage and the second stage, where the state indicated by the comparator is substantially unaffected by capacitive current components provided by transient behavior of the first and second stages.

    摘要: A circuit comprises an amplifier having first output node comprising a first n-channel MOS transistor and a second output node comprising a second n-channel MOS transistor. A first p-channel MOS transistor is coupled to a supply potential, and the second output node. A first PNP bipolar transistor is coupled to the first p-channel MOS transistor through a first resistor and to the second n-channel MOS transistor and to ground. A second PNP bipolar transistor is coupled to the first p-channel MOS transistor through a second resistor in series with a third resistor and to ground. The first n-channel MOS transistor is coupled to a common node between the second and third resistors. A third n-channel MOS transistor is coupled to the first p-channel MOS transistor, to ground through a fourth resistor, and to either a reference potential or to the common node between the second and third resistors.
