MEMORY DEVICES, CIRCUITS AND METHODS OF ADJUSTING A SENSING CURRENT FOR THE MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17577040 titled 'MEMORY DEVICES, CIRCUITS AND METHODS OF ADJUSTING A SENSING CURRENT FOR THE MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a circuit that includes a sense amplifier, clamping circuits, and a feedback circuit. The clamping circuits are connected between the sense amplifier and a memory array or a reference array. The feedback circuit can enable or disable specific clamping branches based on the output data from the sense amplifier.
- The circuit includes a sense amplifier, clamping circuits, and a feedback circuit.

Original Abstract Submitted
A circuit includes a sense amplifier, a first clamping circuit, a second clamping circuit, and a feedback circuit. The first clamping circuit includes first clamping branches coupled in parallel between the sense amplifier and a memory array. The second clamping circuit includes second clamping branches coupled in parallel between the sense amplifier and a reference array. The feedback circuit is configured to selectively enable or disable one or more of the first clamping branches or one or more of the second clamping branches in response to an output data outputted by the sense amplifier.
