  • Sense amplifier with data line precharge through a self-bias circuit and a precharge circuit
    Patent number: 6424571
    Abstract: A Flash memory sense amplifier precharge device having a self-bias circuit and a precharge circuit. The self-bias circuit is coupled to precharge a data node in response to a first control signal. The precharge circuit is coupled to precharge the data node in response to a second control signal, wherein the precharge circuit aids the self-bias circuit precharge the data node faster than the self-bias circuit could itself.
