Abstract
The sense amplifier compares an input signal characterizing the content of the memory device which is to be read with a threshold value which can be changed or selected on the basis of the output signal from the sense amplifier. The use of such a sense amplifier makes it possible to reduce the risk of the content of a memory device which is to be read being determined incorrectly to a minimum.
