Waveshaping circuit generating two rising slopes for a sense amplifier pulldown device

摘要

A waveshaping circuit for a sense amplifier pulldown device receives a standard digital signal at its input and independently creates a signal with two distinct rising slopes at its output. This unique output signal activates the sense amplifier pulldown device slowly at first with the first rising slope then quickly saturates it with the second rising slope allowing the sense amplifier to accurately sense and amplify the voltage difference between two digit lines.
