SENSE AMPLIFIER INCLUDING PRE-AMPLIFYING CIRCUIT AND MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17660232 titled 'SENSE AMPLIFIER INCLUDING PRE-AMPLIFYING CIRCUIT AND MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sense amplifier design for amplifying input signals. The sense amplifier includes a pre-amplifier, switches, and an amplifier.
- The pre-amplifier is connected between an input node and a first node.
- A second switch is connected between the first node and a first output node.
- An amplifier is connected between the first output node and a second output node, which outputs an inverted output signal.
- A third switch is connected between the input node and the second output node.
- The pre-amplifier includes an inverter and a third switch.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory systems: The sense amplifier can be used in memory systems to amplify and detect signals from memory cells.
- Communication systems: The sense amplifier can be used in communication systems to amplify and process signals from sensors or transmitters.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Signal amplification: The sense amplifier solves the problem of amplifying weak input signals to a level that can be accurately detected and processed.
- Signal inversion: The amplifier in the sense amplifier provides an inverted output signal, which can be useful in certain applications where the inverted signal is required.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal detection: The sense amplifier improves the detection of weak input signals by amplifying them to a higher level.
- Versatile signal processing: The sense amplifier provides both non-inverted and inverted output signals, allowing for flexible signal processing options.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a sense amplifier which includes a pre-amplifier that is connected between an input node receiving an input signal and a first node, a second switch connected between the first node and a first output node outputting an output signal, an amplifier connected between the first output node and a second output node outputting an inverted output signal, and a second switch connected between the input node and the second output node. The pre-amplifier includes an inverter connected between the input node and the first node, and a third switch connected between the input node and the first node.
