发明名称 Cell state detection for binary signal storage device.
摘要 <p>For signal storage systems that interrogate a storage cell with a concomitant precharging of the cell signal line (10) non-linear capacitors (40) are employed to provide automatic selective coupling of the respective signal line to a detector (200) for determination of the cell state. By connecting a plurality of signal lines to a detector through respective non-linear capacitors that assume a significantly enlarged capacitance when the precharge voltage level is asserted, enhanced coupling of the signal line may be achieved and by selectively precharging the signal line to be interrogated, no triggering of enlarged capacitance at other signal lines occurs to load the detection system. A symmetrical configuration for use with a reference comparison type of detection, may be provided. A special reference circuit (206) using a pair of joined signal lines provides a ramp signal having intermediate voltage values relative to the state-indicative signals produced by interrogated cells for the two respective cell states. By using a symmetrical configuration and a reference circuit with the same devices as the storage circuitry any shifts in characteristics as a result of manufacturing variations tend to cancel in the detection.</p>
