Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to a memory cell including one or more programmable resistors and a control transistor. In one aspect, a programmable resistor includes a gate structure and one or more source/drain structures for forming a transistor. A resistance of the programmable resistor may be set by applying a voltage to the gate structure, while the control transistor is enabled. Data stored by the programmable resistor can be read by sensing current through the programmable resistor, while the control transistor is disabled. In one aspect, the one or more programmable resistors and the control transistor are implemented by same type of components, allowing the memory cell to be formed in a compact manner through a simplified the fabrication process.

Abstract: A sense amplifier control system includes a precharge control switch configured to receive a precharge signal. A reference cell is configured to receive a reference word line signal. In a precharge phase, the control switch is controlled in response to the precharge signal to precharge the reference input node to a predetermined precharge level. In a sensing phase subsequent to the pre-charge phase, the trigger circuit is configured to output a triggering signal at the output terminal in response to the reference input node reaching a triggering level.

Abstract: A memory device including a memory array with a plurality of memory macros, a power supplying circuit, and a controller is provided. The power supplying circuit is coupled to the memory array. The controller is coupled to the memory array. The power supplying circuit is configured to provide power to perform write operations to a number of the memory macros at the same time. The number of the memory macros for the write operations performed at the same time is not higher than a maximum number of the memory macros. The controller obtains the maximum number of the memory macros for the write operations performed at the same time by the power supplying circuit. The controller re-arranges a schedule for a sequence of the write operations of the memory macros to generate a re-arranged schedule. The maximum number is taken as a threshold value. In the re-arranged schedule, a number of part of the memory macros for the write operations performed at the same time is equal to or less then the threshold value.

Abstract: A sense amplifier is provided. A first terminal of a first invertor is connected to a power node and a second terminal of the first invertor is connected to a cell current source. A first terminal of a second invertor is connected to the power node and a second terminal of the second invertor is connected to a reference current source. The first invertor is cross coupled with the second invertor at a first node and a second node. A pre-charge circuit is connected to the first node and the second node. A first pull up transistor and a second pull up transistor are connected between a supply voltage node and the power node. A signal level detector circuit is connected to the second pull up transistor. The signal level detector circuit switches on the second pull up transistor when a remaining voltage on one of the first node and the second node is below a reference voltage.
