Abstract
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to sensing circuit for a memory and methods of use. The memory includes a self-referenced sense amp that is structured to calibrate its individual pre-charge based on a trip-point, with autonomous pre-charge activation circuitry that starts pre-charging a sense-line on each unique entry as soon as a sense has been performed or completed.
