Abstract

See full text

A current reference circuit for use in a memory sense amplifier is described, which generates a mid-point current reference that is insensitive to fabrication process variations. This circuit is also robust enough to handle distinctly different levels of '0' and '1' sense currents without causing clipping of the mid-point reference current. Adequate sensing levels for the bit line sense amplifier are thus ensured.
