Abstract:
A sense amplifier includes a current supply unit, an amplification unit, a pass transistor and a latch unit. The current supply unit may be configured to provide a sensing current to a sensing node. The amplification unit may be configured to amplify a voltage difference between the read reference voltage with the voltage level of the global bit line. The pass transistor may be configured to transfer a current from the sensing node to the global bit line based on a signal output from the amplification unit. The latch unit may be configured to generate an output signal by detecting a voltage level change of the sensing node.

Claim (Index 10):
A sense amplifier comprising:\n a current supply unit configured to provide a sensing current to a sensing node; a first current clamping unit configured to adjust an amount of the sensing current based on a read reference voltage; an amplification unit configured to amplify the read reference voltage with a voltage level of the global bit line to output a signal; a second current clamping unit configured to adjust an amount of a current provided to the global bit line based on the voltage level of the global bit line; a pass transistor configured to couple the sensing node to the global bit line based on the signal output from the amplification unit; and a latch unit configured to generate an output signal by detecting a voltage level of the sensing node.
