发明名称 Differential and hierarchical sensing for memory circuits
摘要 A memory circuit includes multiple word lines, multiple pairs of complementary bank bit lines, multiple block select lines, and multiple of block circuits. Each of the block circuits includes a local bit line; a first transistor having a control terminal connected to the local bit line, a first bias terminal connected to a first bank bit line of a given pair of bank bit lines, and a second bias terminal connecting to a first voltage source; a second transistor having a control terminal connected to a corresponding one of the block select lines, a first bias terminal connected to a second bank bit line of the given pair of bank bit lines, and a second bias terminal connected to the local bit line; and a plurality of memory cells connected to the local bit line and to respective word lines in the memory circuit. At least two block circuits are connected to a given pair of bank bit lines, the block circuits being configured such that a load on each bank bit line in the given pair of bank bit lines is substantially matched to one another.
