Assignee: MACRONIX INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. An integrated circuit comprising:
a latch configured to latch data; and
a sensing transistor comprising a gate terminal coupled to a sensing node, a first terminal coupled to the latch, and a second terminal to receive a control voltage,
wherein the sensing transistor is configured to be turned on or off to update the data in the latch based on (i) a sensing voltage at the sensing node and (ii) a target voltage based on the control voltage and on a threshold voltage of the sensing transistor, and
wherein the control voltage is configured to compensate for a variation of the threshold voltage of the sensing transistor, such that the target voltage is independent from the variation of the threshold voltage of the sensing transistor.
