Abstract
Reference circuitry RC includes a current-sensing translator M5-M7, MX connected to a current reference source RS. The outputs O1, O2, etc. of the current-sensing translator M5-M7, MX are mirrored into one or more sense amplifiers SA1,SA2 of sensing circuitry SC. The current-sensing translator M5-M7, MX permits the current from the current reference source RS to be mirrored to multiple sense amplifiers SA1,SA2 at a predetermined ratio.
