Technical Field
The invention relates to a memory and a sense amplifier device thereof.
Background
In the technical field of memories, a precharge circuit is often provided at an input terminal of a sense amplifier to precharge the input terminal of the sense amplifier in advance when a memory cell is read, so that a subsequent sensing operation of a data signal of the memory cell can be accelerated.
In the known art, the precharge circuit is often made to have a fixed precharge time. However, when the power supply voltage received by the sense amplifying device changes, the precharge circuit may boost the voltage at the input terminal of the sense amplifying device to a different extent during the fixed precharge time. For example, when the power supply voltage becomes high, the voltage at the input terminal of the sense amplifying device may be precharged to a relatively high voltage value; in contrast, when the power voltage becomes low, the voltage at the input terminal of the sense amplifying device can be precharged to a relatively low voltage value. The unstable state of the precharge operation can cause the phenomenon of sensing data errors when the memory is applied to power supply voltages of different magnitudes, or cause the reading speed to be different according to the magnitude of the power supply voltages.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sense amplifying device according to an embodiment of the invention. The sense amplifying device 100 includes a differential amplifier 110, a pre-charge circuit 120, and a control voltage generator 130. The differential amplifier 110 has an input terminal IN1 and IN2. The input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110 is coupled to the precharge circuit 120 and receives the data signal. The input IN2 of the differential amplifier 110 receives the reference signal Vra. IN this embodiment, the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110 can be coupled to a selected memory cell, wherein the selected memory cell is selected to perform a read operation. The selected memory cell can be used to provide the data signal Vsa to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110. The precharge circuit 120 performs a precharge operation on the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110 before the data signal Vsa is supplied to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110 during the read operation.
The differential amplifier 110 is used for comparing the magnitude of the data signal Vsa at the input terminal IN1 and the magnitude of the reference signal Vra at the input terminal IN2, and generating the output signal Sout by amplifying the difference between the data signal Vsa and the reference signal Vra.
IN the present embodiment, the precharge circuit 120 may perform the precharge operation on the input terminal IN1 according to the precharge enable signal PC and the control voltage Vpgp based on the power supply voltage VCC. The control voltage Vpgp is provided by the control voltage generator 130. Wherein, the control voltage generator 130 generates the control voltage Vpgp according to the power supply voltage VCC. In one embodiment, the control voltage Vpgp is positively correlated to the supply voltage VCC.
Further, the control voltage generator 130 may adjust the voltage value of the control voltage Vpgp according to the voltage value of the power supply voltage VCC. When the power supply voltage VCC is less than or equal to a reference value, the voltage value of the control voltage Vpgp may be maintained at a low voltage equal to approximately 0 volts. When the power supply voltage VCC is greater than the above-mentioned reference value, the control voltage Vpgp may be linearly increased in proportion to the power supply voltage VCC. In the present embodiment, when the power supply voltage VCC is greater than the above-described reference value, the amount of change in the control voltage Vpgp and the amount of change in the power supply voltage VCC may be equal.
As can be seen from the above description, when the power supply voltage VCC varies, the precharge circuit 120 can maintain the precharge capability of the input terminal IN1 according to the control voltage Vpgp which dynamically varies according to the variation of the power supply voltage VCC. IN this way, the precharge operation on the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110 is constant regardless of the variation of the power supply voltage VCC. The voltage at the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 110 does not have a phenomenon of insufficient pre-charge or over-charge due to the variation of the power supply voltage VCC, so that the possibility of generating the erroneous output signal Sout of the differential amplifier 110 is reduced, and the data sensing speed of the sense amplifier 100 can be effectively maintained.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a control voltage generator in a sense amplifying device according to an embodiment of the invention. The control voltage generator 200 includes a transistor MPP0 and a constant current source 210. A first terminal of the transistor MPP0 receives a supply voltage VCC; the control end of the transistor MPP0 receives the reference voltage VSS; the second terminal of the transistor MPP0 is coupled to the constant current source 210 and generates the control voltage Vpgp. The constant current source 210 is coupled between the second terminal of the transistor MPP0 and a reference ground, wherein the reference ground is used for receiving the reference voltage VSS. In this embodiment, the reference voltage VSS may be a ground voltage of 0 volts.
In the present embodiment, the constant current source 210 is constructed by a transistor MNN 0. The first terminal of the transistor MNN0 is coupled to the second terminal of the transistor MPP 0; the control terminal of the transistor MNN0 receives the reference voltage VREF; the second terminal of the transistor MNN0 receives the reference voltage VSS. Wherein, the reference voltage VREF may be greater than the reference voltage VSS. In this embodiment, the reference voltage VREF may be, for example, 1.1 v to 1.2 v.
The constant current source 210 is configured to draw a fixed current from the second terminal of the transistor MPP0 to the second terminal of the transistor MNN 0. When the power supply voltage VCC is not greater than the turn-on voltage (equivalent to the reference value) of the transistor MPP0, the transistor MPP0 is not turned on, and the control voltage Vpgp on the second terminal of the transistor MPP0 can be a very low voltage (e.g., 0 volt) by the pull-down action of the constant current source 210. The transistor MPP0 may be turned on when the power supply voltage VCC is greater than the turn-on voltage of the transistor MPP 0. At this time, a constant difference between the control voltage Vpgp and the power supply voltage VCC at the second terminal of the transistor MPP0 may be maintained.
Reference is now made to fig. 2 and 3 in synchronization, wherein fig. 3 is a waveform diagram illustrating an embodiment of the control voltage generator 200 according to the embodiment of fig. 2. Wherein the control voltage Vpgp is substantially equal to 0 volts when the supply voltage VCC is not greater than the turn-on voltage Vthp of the transistor MPP 0. When the power supply voltage VCC is greater than the turn-on voltage Vthp of the transistor MPP0, the control voltage Vpgp may linearly rise as the power supply voltage VCC rises. The slope of the variation curve 310 of the control voltage Vpgp and the power supply voltage VCC may be equal to 1.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a precharge circuit of a sense amplifying device according to an embodiment of the invention. Precharge circuit 400 includes precharge sub-circuits 410 and 420. Precharge sub-circuit 410 includes transistors MP0 and MP01. The precharge sub-circuit 420 includes transistors MP1 and MP11. In the present embodiment, the first terminal of the transistor MP0 receives the power supply voltage VCC; the second terminal of the transistor MP0 is coupled to the first terminal of the transistor MP 01; the control terminal of the transistor MP0 receives the precharge promoter signal PCSb. The control terminal of the transistor MP01 receives the control voltage Vpgp; the second terminal of the transistor MP01 is coupled to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier.
The first terminal of the transistor MP1 receives a power supply voltage VCC; the second terminal of the transistor MP1 is coupled to the first terminal of the transistor MP 11; the control terminal of the transistor MP1 receives the precharge promoter signal PCWb. The control terminal of the transistor MP11 receives the control voltage Vpgp; the second terminal of the transistor MP11 is coupled to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier.
IN the present embodiment, the precharge sub-circuit 410 and the precharge sub-circuit 420 can respectively provide different driving capabilities to pull up the input terminal IN1 to the power supply voltage VCC for performing the precharge operation. The driving capability provided by the pre-charge sub-circuit 410 may be greater than the driving capability provided by the pre-charge sub-circuit 420.
When the precharge sub-circuit 410 performs the precharge operation, the transistor MP0 may be turned on according to the precharge promoter signal PCSb. Regardless of the variation of the power supply voltage VCC, when the power supply voltage VCC is greater than the reference value, the difference between the power supply voltage VCC and the control voltage Vpgp can be maintained to be constant based on the control voltage Vpgp varying with the variation of the power supply voltage VCC. Thus, the driving capability that the precharge sub-circuit 410 may provide is fixed.
Similarly, when the precharge sub-circuit 420 performs a precharge operation, the transistor MP1 may be turned on according to the precharge promoter signal PCWb. Regardless of the variation of the power supply voltage VCC, when the power supply voltage VCC is greater than the reference value, the difference between the power supply voltage VCC and the control voltage Vpgp can be maintained to be constant based on the control voltage Vpgp varying with the variation of the power supply voltage VCC. Thus, the driving capability that the precharge sub-circuit 420 may provide is also fixed.
Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the precharge sub-circuits 410 and 420 may perform the precharge operation simultaneously, or may perform the precharge operation in a time-sharing manner, without being limited thereto. In addition, when the power supply voltage VCC is lower than the above reference value, the sense amplifying device of the embodiment of the present invention is inactive.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a memory according to an embodiment of the invention. The memory 500 comprises one or more memory CELLs CELL and a sense amplifying means 510.

The memory CELL may be a selected memory CELL, and the bit line BL is coupled to the data line DL through a switch configured by the transistor MN2, and is coupled to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 511 through a switch configured by the transistor MN 3. When the transistors MN2 and MN3 are turned on according to the signals Y and Vsen, respectively, the memory CELL provides the data signal Vsa to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 511 via the bit line BL and the data line DL.

The details of the operation of the pre-charging circuit 512 are the same as those of the pre-charging circuit 400 in the embodiment of fig. 4, and are not repeated here. Like the precharge circuit 400, the precharge circuit 512 can perform the precharge operation for the input terminal IN1 according to the fixed driving capability independently of the variation of the power supply voltage VCC. IN this way, the voltage value of the voltage at the input terminal IN1 is raised during the precharge operation can be maintained.
IN addition, one end of the transistor MND is coupled to the input terminal IN1, and the other end of the transistor MND is coupled to the reference voltage VSS.

The other input IN2 of the differential amplifier 511 receives the reference signal Vra. The differential amplifier 511 amplifies the difference between the reference signal Vra and the data signal Vsa to generate the output signal Sout.
In this embodiment, the sense amplifying device 510 further includes a data latch 513. The data latch 513 includes transistors MP4, MP5, MN6 and inverters IV1, IV2.

The transistor MP4 is controlled by the signal SETN, the transistor MP5 and the transistor MN5 are commonly controlled by the input signal Sout, and the transistor MN6 is controlled by the signal SET. Wherein signals SET and SETN are inverted.
When the transistors MP4 and MN6 are turned on, the data latch 513 can transmit the output signal Sout to the latch composed of the inverters IV1 and IV2 through the transistor MP5 and the transistor MN5 to obtain the sensing data DO.
Based on the variation of the power supply voltage VCC, the precharge circuit 512 provides a constant precharge driving capability to perform a precharge operation on the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier. IN this way, the memory CELL can provide the correct data signal Vsa to the input terminal IN1, and the memory 500 can provide the correct sensing data DO even under the condition that the power voltage VCC varies, and effectively maintain the data sensing rate of the sense amplifying device 510.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the circuit structures of the differential amplifier 511 and the data latch 513 are merely illustrative examples. In other embodiments of the present invention, the differential amplifying circuit and the data latch circuit, which are well known to those skilled in the art, can be applied to the present invention without specific limitation.
In addition, the memory CELL in the embodiment of the present invention may be a flash memory CELL, or any other memory CELL, without any fixed limitation.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a memory according to another embodiment of the invention. The memory 600 includes one or more memory CELLs CELL, a sense amplifying device 610, and a reference memory CELL CELLR. The sense amplifying device 610 includes a differential amplifier 611, a precharge circuit 6121, a data latch 613, and a precharge circuit 6122. The bit line BL of the memory CELL is coupled to the data line DL through the switch of the transistor MN2 and is coupled to the input IN1 of the differential amplifier 611 through the switch of the transistor MN 3. When the transistors MN2 and MN3 are turned on according to the signals Y and Vsen, respectively, the memory CELL provides the data signal Vsa to the input terminal IN1 of the differential amplifier 611 via the bit line BL and the data line DL.
The bit line RBL of the reference cell CELR is coupled to the reference data line RDL through a switch constructed by the transistor MNR0, and is coupled to the input IN2 of the differential amplifier 611 through a switch constructed by the transistor MNR 1. When the transistors MNR0 and MNR1 are turned on according to the power voltage VCC and the signal Vsen, the reference cell CELLR provides the reference signal Vra to the input terminal IN2 of the differential amplifier 611 through the bit line RBL and the reference data line RDL.
In the present embodiment, the differential amplifier 611, the precharge circuit 6121 and the data latch 613 in the sense amplifying device 610 have the same circuit structure and the same circuit operation as the differential amplifier 511, the precharge circuit 512 and the data latch 513 in the embodiment of fig. 5, and are not repeated here. Unlike the previous embodiment, the sense amplifier 610 further includes a precharge circuit 6122 coupled to the input IN2 of the differential amplifier 611. The precharge circuit 6122 includes transistors MPR3, MPR4, MPR5, and MPR6.

The details of the operation of the precharge circuit 6122 are the same as those of the precharge circuit 400 in the embodiment of fig. 4, and are not repeated here. The precharge circuit 6122 may perform a precharge operation with respect to the input terminal IN2 according to a fixed driving capability, independently of a variation of the power supply voltage VCC, like the precharge circuit 400. IN this way, the voltage value of the voltage at the input terminal IN2 is raised during the precharge operation can be maintained.
As can be seen from the above description, the memory 600 IN this embodiment can be precharged to a fixed voltage value by the precharge circuits 6121 and 6122 independently of the change of the power supply voltage VCC during the precharge operation when the read operation of the memory CELL is performed. IN this way, after the precharge operation, the memory CELL can provide the correct data signal Vsa to the input terminal IN1, and the reference memory CELL CELLR can also provide the correct reference signal Vra to the input terminal IN2. Accordingly, the sense amplifier 610 can accurately sense the recorded data of the memory CELL in real time to obtain the accurate sensing data DO.
Incidentally, the transistors MND1 and MND2 are respectively coupled between the input terminals IN1 and IN2 and the reference voltage VSS, and are turned on according to the discharging control signal DisC to make the input terminals IN1 and IN2 perform the discharging operation.
According to the above, the control voltage generator in the sense amplifier of the present invention is used for providing the control voltage positively correlated to the variation of the power supply voltage, and the precharge circuit performs the precharge operation independently with the power supply voltage on the input terminal of the differential amplifier according to the power supply voltage and the fixed difference value of the control voltage. In this way, when the power supply voltage fluctuates, the precharge circuit can maintain the voltage value of the voltage at the input terminal of the differential amplifier that is raised during the precharge operation. Therefore, the selected memory cell can correctly provide the data signal to the input end of the differential amplifier, and the sensing amplifying device can correctly obtain the sensing data in real time.
