Abstract

A circuit includes a sense amplifier, a first clamping circuit, a second clamping circuit, and a feedback circuit. The first clamping circuit includes first clamping branches coupled in parallel between the sense amplifier and a memory array. The second clamping circuit includes second clamping branches coupled in parallel between the sense amplifier and a reference array. The feedback circuit is configured to selectively enable or disable one or more of the first clamping branches or one or more of the second clamping branches in response to an output data outputted by the sense amplifier.
