Abstract

A method and apparatus for programmable read only memory with high speed differential sensing at low operating voltage. In one embodiment, a programmable memory cell is comprised of word line, a bitline, and a transistor. The transistor, representing a single binary digit (bit), has a gate coupled to a word line, a drain coupled to a bitline, and a source capable of being programmed to provide a logic level of 0 and a logic level of 1. By programming the source of the transistor, the bitline approximately equal capacitance for both logic level 0 and logic level 1 states.
