Abstract
A circuit includes a tracking bit line, a first capacitive circuit, a tracking circuit and a detection circuit. The first capacitive circuit is coupled to the tracking bit line. The first capacitive circuit has a capacitive load on the tracking bit line. The tracking circuit is coupled to the tracking bit line. The tracking circuit being configured to charge or discharge a voltage on the tracking bit line based on a first control signal or the capacitive load. The detection circuit is coupled to the tracking bit line, and is configured to generate a SAE signal responsive to the voltage of the tracking bit line and an inverted first control signal.
