摘要： According to an embodiment, an operational amplifier includes a first amplifier stage coupled between an input node and an intermediate node, a second amplifier stage coupled between the intermediate node and an output node, a compensation capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the intermediate node and a second terminal, and a compensation amplifier coupled between the output node and the second terminal. The compensation amplifier has a positive gain greater than one.

摘要： A phase-change memory device, comprising: a memory array of PCM cells, a variable current generator, and a sense amplifier. The current generator comprises a reference array of PCM cells programmed in SET resistance state. The phase-change memory device further comprises a decoder for addressing each cell of the reference array so that a respective plurality of SET current signals is generated through the plurality of reference cells; and a controller configured to receive at input said SET current signals, select a number of SET current signals having the lowest current values among the plurality of SET current signals, calculate a mean value of said lowest current values, and adjust the reference current to be lower than said mean value.
