Abstract

A bias voltage generator and generating method for a reference cell are provided. The bias voltage generator includes a data read detector, a cut-off signal generator and an output stage circuit. The data read detector generates a detection signal according to transition points of a sense amplifier enable signal and a sense amplifier latch signal. The cut-off signal generator delays the detection signal a delay time to generate a cut-off signal, wherein a start-up time of the cut-off signal is decided by the detection signal and the delay time. The output stage circuit starts or stops to provide a bias-voltage providing signal according to the cut-off signal.
