Abstract

An apparatus that includes a sense amplifier including first and second cross-coupled transistors to amplify a potential difference between first and second digit lines, a compensation circuit configured to compensate a threshold difference between the first and second transistors, first and second local I/O lines coupled to the first and second digit lines, respectively, and an equalizing circuit configured to equalize the first and second local I/O lines. The equalizing circuit is configured to change a precharge level of the first and second local I/O lines from a first potential to a second potential before a compensation operation of the compensation circuit is completed.
