Abstract
There is described a low voltage sense amplifier for an EPROM memory transistor which has a low voltage inverter coupled to the memory transistor. The inverter receives a selectable low reference voltage as its power supply and the same reference voltage is fed as a precharge voltage, prior to reading an EPROM bit, to the input of the inverter.
