Balanced sense amplifier control for open digit line architecture memory devices

摘要

A balanced sense amplifier control for open digit line architecture memory devices. Firing of the sense amplifiers on each side of a section of a memory device is controlled by a two stage NAND gate logic circuit that utilizes a tree routing scheme. By gating the global signal with a section signal through the two stage NAND gate logic circuit, the sense amplifiers on each side of a section can be fired simultaneously.
