    摘要: An offset cancellation scheme for sense amplification is described. The scheme consists of group of transistors which are selectively coupled to high and low voltage levels via multi-phase timing. This results in a voltage level on sensing nodes of interest which are a function of transistor mismatch. The resulting voltage levels act to compensates for the transistor mismatch, thereby improving the reliability of the sense amplifier in the presence of process non-idealities. The offset cancellation scheme is applicable to numerous types of sense amplifiers, amplifiers, and comparators.

    摘要: Sense amplifier configurations for memories are described. In these configurations, the differential inputs are boosted proportional to the respective bitline voltage enabling a low-voltage, reliable, faster sense amplifier operation. Disclosed sense amplifiers are also capable of compensating the threshold mismatch between the sensing transistors.
