Voltage sense amplifier and methods for implementing the same

摘要

Disclosed is a method for amplifying a data signal read from a memory device. The method includes sensing an initial voltage difference across a data bus that is coupled to the memory device. Producing an initial voltage difference across a sensed data bus after the sensing detects the initial voltage difference. The initial voltage difference is configured to partially separate a pair of nodes associated with the sensed data bus. The method further includes subsequently isolating the data bus from the sensed data bus to rapidly further separate the pair of nodes associated with the sensed data bus, the rapid separation producing the amplified data signal across the sensed data bus.
