Abstract
A reading circuit for reading a datum stored in a storage material. In the reading circuit, a generating stage generates a read electrical quantity to be applied to the storage material, and a sensing stage is configured to generate an output electrical quantity that is indicative of a charge variation associated to the datum stored, and that occurs in the storage material due to application of the read electrical quantity; in particular, the sensing stage uses a charge-sensing amplifier electrically connected to the storage material.
