Abstract

See full text

Circuits for estimating threshold voltages of transistors in memory device bitcells are provided. The circuits use a multiplexer, a sensor switch network, a power switch network, and an NMOS device configured as a sensor to couple a desired one the transistors in the bitcells and the NMOS device to each other, to a test voltage, and to ground. A sensor voltage node can then be measured, and based on the resulting measurement, a threshold voltage for the transistor estimate.
