Abstract

A read amplifier of a memory device has two current generators, an inverter, and five transistors. The inverter is connected to the second current generator. The first transistor has a gate connected to the read amplifier, a drain connected to the first current generator, and a source connected to a reference ground. The second transistor has a gate connected to the first current generator, a drain connected to a reference voltage, and a source connected to the gate of the first transistor. The third transistor has a drain connected to the first current generator and a source connected to the reference ground. The fourth transistor has a gate connected to the first current generator, a drain connected to the second current generator, and a source connected to the reference ground. The fifth transistor has a drain connected to the second current generator and a source connected to the reference voltage.
