LINEARIZED STORAGE CELL FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ANALOG SIGNAL RECORDING AND PLAYBACK

摘要

A linearized storage cell in which in the read mode, the cell is used in the linear region in a negative feedback mode, resulting in a linear variation of cell current with the threshold of the cell. By imposing the cell current across an equivalent active MOS resistor, a cell read-out voltage linearly dependent on the cell threshold voltage is achieved. Alternate embodiments are disclosed. Details of the method are disclosed.
