Patent ID: 11869600
Assignee: SANDISK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A circuit, comprising:
a first pre-charge circuit configured to pre-charge a first sensing node to a first voltage level;
a second sensing node;
a sensing circuit configured to selectively couple the second sensing node to a current load responsive to the first sensing node being charged to the first voltage level and the second sensing node being charged to a second voltage level, wherein the sensing circuit is further configured to decouple the second sensing node from the current load responsive to an accumulated charge at the second sensing node decreasing; and
a charge sharing circuit configured to decouple the first sensing node from the second sensing node responsive to the sensing circuit coupling the second sensing node to the current load and configured to couple the first sensing node to the second sensing node responsive to the second sensing node being decoupled from the current load.
