Abstract
A non-volatile memory unit includes memory units for providing a data current corresponding to stored data; a first load unit having a first end; a second load unit having a second end; and a sensing unit. The first load unit and the second load unit can receive current input to build voltages respectively at the first end and the second end. When the memory unit provides the data current, the second load unit is enabled such that the data current inputs into the first load unit and the second load unit; then the second load is disabled after a predetermined time such that the data current inputs into the first load unit only, and the sensing unit generates a data signal for data-acquisition according to a voltage difference between the voltage at the first end and a reference voltage.
