Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes a ROM, a differential sense amplifier and a multiplexer logic circuit. The ROM has memory cells in rows along word lines and columns along bit lines, and a reference column having reference transistors along a reference bit line. The multiplexer logic circuit couples a selected bit line to a first differential amplifier input and couples the reference bit line to the second differential amplifier input and controls a reference current of the reference bit line to be between a first bit line current of a programmed memory cell and a second bit line current of an unprogrammed memory cell.
