Abstract
A data sensing method for sensing storage data stored in a memory cell includes the steps of: biasing a sensing node and a reference node to a first voltage in response to a first control signal; discharging the sensing node and the reference node via the memory cell and a reference memory cell, respectively; enabling a latch circuit to amplify a voltage difference between the sensing node and the reference node.
