SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING COMMON MODE LEVEL FOR SENSE AMPLIFIER CIRCUITRY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884261 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING COMMON MODE LEVEL FOR SENSE AMPLIFIER CIRCUITRY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a memory device with a memory cell, digit lines, a sense amplifier, and a replica sense amplifier.

  • Memory device includes a memory cell that stores data.
  • Memory device has a pair of digit lines for carrying data from the memory cell.
  • Sense amplifier senses and amplifies voltages on the digit lines.
  • Replica sense amplifier generates a replica common mode voltage associated with the digit lines' common mode voltage.

Original Abstract Submitted

A memory device includes a memory cell that stores data. The memory device also includes a pair of digit lines that carry the data from the memory cell. The memory device further includes a sense amplifier that senses and amplifies voltages received at the pair of digit lines. The memory device also includes a replica sense amplifier that generates a replica common mode voltage associated with a common mode voltage of the pair of digit lines.
