Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device according to the present invention has a memory cell array, a write-driving/bias-reading circuit, a control circuit and a sense amplifier. The control circuit outputs a VSLC (Verify Sense Load Control) signal generated according to writing data. After the write-driving/bias-reading circuit applied the writing pulse and the complementary writing pulse, the sense amplifier receives the VSLC signal and detects the current difference between two currents respectively flowing through a first data line and a second data line; the first data line and the second data line respectively connecting a true memory cell and a complementary memory cell of the selected pair of memory cell. The control circuit controls to provide the additional current to at least one of the first data line and the second data line so as to make the detected current difference meet the required margin.
