Abstract:
A sense amplifier includes a differential input circuit, a floating prevention circuit, and a differential amplifier. The differential input circuit output a first current flowing through a first node according to a first input signal, and second current flowing through a second node according to a second input signal. The floating prevention circuit outputs a third current flowing through the first node according to the second input signal, and fourth current flowing through the second node according to the first input signal. The differential amplifier generates a first output signal according to the first current or the third current flowing through the first node, and a second output signal according to the second current or the fourth current flowing through the second node. The sense amplifier may be coupled to a latch to form a flip-flop circuit.

Abstract:
Provided are a nonvolatile memory device and a deduplication method thereof. The nonvolatile memory device includes a plurality of data storages written in a unit of data block; and a storage controller dividing write-requested data in a unit of data block to generate a plurality of data blocks, determining whether each of predetermined data blocks from among the plurality of data blocks is duplicated, generating parity data with reference to non-duplicated data blocks from among the predetermined data blocks, and controlling the plurality of data storages such that the parity data and the non-duplicated data blocks are written into at least one of the plurality of data storages. Since a deduplication operation is performed before generating parity data to assure reliability of data, the number of write operations is reduced and restoration probability of the nonvolatile memory device increases.
