Abstract
A sense amplifier circuit includes a single-ended sense amplifier and an isolation switch. The isolation switch is coupled between a bias node and a first line of a memory device, receives an output of the single-ended sense amplifier and selectively isolates the bias node and the first line in response to the output of the single-ended sense amplifier. The first line is coupled to a plurality of memory cells of the memory device.
