Abstract
A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) array has a first portion configured as a data array and a second portion configured as a reference array. The DRAM array includes read bit lines which include a first plurality of read bit lines in the data array and a second plurality of read bit lines in the reference array. Read circuitry includes a plurality of sensing circuits, each sensing circuit coupled to a corresponding read bit line of the first plurality of read bit lines and configured to receive a first reference voltage generated by a first read bit line of the second plurality of read bit lines and a second reference voltage generated by a second read bit line of the second plurality of bit lines. The plurality of sensing circuits is configured to provide a corresponding bit of an output read value.
