Abstract:
An SRAM differential voltage sensing apparatus is coupled to a memory circuit. The memory circuit comprises a memory bank, a plurality of bit lines, a plurality of data lines coupled to the plurality of bit lines via a plurality of transmission gates and a sense amplifier. When the sense amplifier operates in a characterization mode, the transmission gates and pre-charge circuits are turned off. The differential voltage sensing apparatus applies a characterization signal to the sense amplifier and obtains the parameters of the memory circuit through a trial and error process.
