Abstract

A sense amplifier capable of performing a logical NOT operation is provided, which includes a sense circuit, configured to sense a first voltage of a bit line and a second voltage of an inverse bit line; a first transistor, coupled between a first terminal of the sense circuit and the bit line; a second transistor, coupled between a second terminal of the sense circuit and the inverse bit line; and a third transistor, coupled between the bit line and the inverse bit line. First and second memory cells are respectively controlled by first and second word lines, and connected to the bit line. When the sense amplifier is in an inverse writing state, the sense amplifier writes the second voltage to the second memory cell through a predetermined path. A first logical state of the first voltage is complementary to a second logical state of the second voltage.
