Methods are provided for use with a memory array that includes a selected memory cell coupled to a selected word line and a selected bit line, with the selected word line biased at a read voltage. The method include coupling a sense amplifier to the selected bit line, the sense amplifier including a capacitor integrator, a single-transistor amplifier and a level shifter, maintaining the selected bit line at a voltage of substantially 0V using the single-transistor amplifier and the level shifter, and integrating a selected bit line current on the capacitor integrator.
