A MOSFET random access memory having a highly sensitive sense amplifier is disclosed. The sense amplifier utilizes a field effect transistor connected in the common gate mode so as to produce a large output swing on a reltively low capacitance output node, which is the drain node of the transistor, as a result of a relatively low voltage swing produced by reading data stored in a memory cell on a high capacitance column bus connected to the source of the transistor. The sense amplifier is shown in differential configuration with a low power level shifting circuit and also with both static memory cells, where a greatly improved access time is produced, and with destructive readout cells where improved reliability is possible.
