Abstract:
A read-only memory (ROM) device includes a memory cell that is electrically coupled to a bitline (BL) or to a  BL  which represents a complement of the BL. The ROM device precharges the BL and the  BL  to a first logical value. The ROM device activates the memory cell which discharges the BL when the memory cell is coupled to the BL or discharges the  BL  when the memory cell is coupled to the  BL . The ROM device reads the first logical value as being stored within the memory cell when the BL is less than the  BL . Otherwise, the ROM device reads the second logical value as being stored within the memory cell when the BL is greater than the  BL .

Claim (Index 7):
A memory device, comprising:\n a plurality of memory cells being configured to be in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each column from among the plurality of columns being coupled to a corresponding differential bitline (BL) from among a plurality of differential BLs; pre-charge circuitry configured to pre-charge at least a differential bitline from among the plurality of differential BLs that corresponds to a memory cell from among the plurality of memory cells to a first logical value; a memory controller configured to activate the memory cell, the memory cell, when activated, being configured to discharge a BL from among the differential bitline to at least a read margin value less than the first logical value when the memory cell is coupled to the BL or to discharge a  BL  from among the differential bitline to at least the read margin value when the memory cell is coupled to the  BL ; and a sense amplifier configured to:\n read a first logical value as being stored within the memory cell in response to the BL being less than the  BL  by at least the read margin value, and \n read the second logical value as being stored within the memory cell in response to the BL being greater than the  BL  by at least the read margin value.
