Abstract
Sense amplifier configurations for memories are described. In these configurations, the differential inputs are boosted proportional to the respective bitline voltage enabling a low-voltage, reliable, faster sense amplifier operation. Disclosed sense amplifiers are also capable of compensating the threshold mismatch between the sensing transistors.
