Abstract:
Devices and methods for sensing a memory cell are described. The memory cell may include a ferroelectric memory cell. During a read operation, a cascode may couple a precharged capacitor with the memory cell to transfer a charge between the precharged capacitor and the memory cell. The cascode may isolate the capacitor from the memory cell based on the charge transferred between the capacitor and the memory cell. A second capacitor (e.g., a parasitic capacitor) may continue to provide an additional amount of charge to the memory cell during the read operation. Such a change in capacitance value during the read operation may provide a large sense window due to a non-linear voltage characteristics associated with the change in capacitance value.

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein deactivating the second cascode is based at least in part on a voltage across the capacitor being reduced during the read operation.
