  • Switched bitline VTH sensing for non-volatile memories
    Patent number: 8059468
    Abstract: A transistor provides a voltage source commonly switched by SE and SO switches to pre-charge both the even bitline and the odd bitline. The SE and SO switches are open during a sensing stage to determine whether the cell side or the reference side has a higher current and determine the charge stored by a memory cell transistor.
    Type: Grant
