Abstract:
A bitline sense amplifier includes a pre-sensing unit and an amplification unit. The pre-sensing unit is connected to a first bitline and a second bitline, and is configured to perform a pre-sensing operation by controlling a voltage level of the second bitline based on at least one pre-sensing voltage and variation of a voltage level of the first bitline. The amplification unit is configured to perform a main amplification operation by amplifying a pre-sensed voltage difference based on a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal. The pre-sensed voltage difference indicates a difference between the voltage level of the first bitline and the voltage level of the second bitline after the pre-sensing operation.
