Abstract: A single-ended sense amplifier and a method for reading a memory cell are disclosed. The method includes the following steps. A bit line is charged according to a control signal. Thereafter, whether the dropoff time of the bit line voltage is greater or less than a predetermined time is deteremined. When the dropoff time of the voltage of the bit line is less than the predetermined time period, a first operation is sensed. On the other hand, when the dropoff time of the voltage of the bit line is greater than the predetermined time period, a second operation is sensed. The dropoff time of the voltage of the bit line is determined according to a parasitic capacitance on the bit line. A logic level of a sensing transistor circuit is retained and an output data signal according to the operation sensed is generated.
