Abstract

See full text

Single ended bitline current sense amplifier for SRAM applications. The present disclosure relates to current sense read amplifier for use as a read amplifier in a memory arrangement of memory cell groups, wherein in each of the memory cell groups cells includes at least one read port connected to a read amplifier by a bitline, and wherein said read amplifiers are connected to a data output. The current sense read amplifier includes a voltage regulator to keep a bitline voltage at a constant voltage level below a power supply voltage and above a ground, a measurement circuit to detect a high current value and a low current value in a input signal, and a generator to generate a high voltage level output signal when the high current value input is detected and to generate a low voltage level output signal when the low current level value is detected.
