Abstract
Apparatus and methods for operating a read-only memory (ROM) are disclosed. The method for operating the ROM includes sensing a dummy bit line with a dummy sense amplifier coupled to the dummy bit line to generate a keeper adjust signal. Based on the keeper adjust signal, a keeper strength of a keeper circuit coupled to a sense amplifier circuit is adjusted. The sense amplifier circuit is capable of sensing data stored in the ROM.
