Abstract
First, second input terminals of a sense amplifier are coupled to first, second memory sensing nodes. A first input transistor has a channel arranged between a first comparator input and a first comparator output, and a control terminal at a bias node. A second input transistor has a channel arranged between a second comparator input and a second comparator output, and a control terminal at a bias node. The first and second comparator inputs are selectively couplable to each other, in response to compensation signal assertion, or to the first and second input terminals, in response to compensation signal de-assertion. The bias node is selectively couplable to a comparator biasing node in response to bias enable assertion, or is floating in response to the bias enable de-assertion. A sensing circuit produces a read signal as a function of a difference between first, second currents at the comparator outputs.
