Abstract
The present disclosure provides a sense amplifier, a memory, and a data readout method, and relates to the field of semiconductor memory technologies. The sense amplifier includes a first PMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, a second NMOS transistor, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a fourth switch. During the offset compensation stage of the sense amplifier, the switching states of the first switch to the fourth switch are controlled so that the first NMOS transistor and the second NMOS transistor are configured to be in a cross-coupled amplification mode, and the first PMOS transistor and the second PMOS transistor are configured to be in a diode connection mode. The present disclosure enables to realize the offset compensation of the sense amplifier and improves the correctness of data readout by the memory.
