Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the disclosure provide memory circuit, a sense amplifier and associated method for reading a resistive state in a memory device. The sense amplifier includes a bit cell configurable to a high or low resistance state; a sensing circuit that detects a voltage drop across the bit cell in response to an applied read current during a read operation and generates a high or low logic output at an output node; and a pulse generation circuit that increases the applied read current with an injected current pulse when a low to high transition of the resistive state of the bit cell is detected.
