Elimination of address-sensitivity by synchronous reference for sense amplifier

摘要

A method and apparatus for stabilizing a sense amplifier utilized in a memory array of a semiconductor integrated circuit. A memory cell of the memory array may be selected, wherein the selected memory cell is associated with a sense amplifier. A cell current associated with the selected memory cell and a reference current associated with a reference memory cell can be generated. Thereafter, the reference current may be synchronized with a plurality of address inputs to eliminate a source line resistance associated with the selected memory cell, thereby resulting in a stabilization the sense amplifier by the elimination of associated address sensitivity.
