Abstract
Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present techniques provide apparatus and methods for generating a reference current for a memory array sensing scheme, and for using the generated reference current to sense the state of memory cells within the memory array. The generated reference current is particularly suitable for distinguishing between a high resistance state and a low resistance state.
