Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes: an amplifier circuit including a first inverter and a second inverter to amplify a voltage difference between a first line and a second line; a replica amplifier circuit including a first replica inverter having an input terminal and an output terminal which are coupled to a second replica line and replicating the first inverter, and that includes a second replica inverter having an input terminal and an output terminal which are coupled to a first replica line and replicating the second inverter; and a current control circuit suitable for controlling an amount of a current sourced to the replica amplifier circuit and an amount of a current sunken from the replica amplifier circuit based on comparison of an average level between a voltage of the first replica line and a voltage of the second replica line with a level of a target voltage.

Claim (Index 9):
The integrated circuit of  claim 2 , wherein the input terminal of the first inverter is coupled to the second line, and the input terminal of the second inverter is coupled to the first line, and\n the amplifier circuit further includes:\n a first switch suitable for electrically connecting the input terminal of the first inverter and the output terminal of the first inverter to each other in a first phase; \n a second switch suitable for electrically connecting the input terminal of the second inverter and the output terminal of the second inverter to each other in the first phase; \n a third switch suitable for electrically connecting the output terminal of the first inverter and the first line to each other in the second phase; and \n a fourth switch suitable for electrically connecting the output terminal of the second inverter and the second line to each other in the second phase, and \n an operation for cancelling offsets of the first inverter and the second inverter is performed in the first phase, and an amplification operation for amplifying a voltage difference between the first line and the second line is performed in the second phase.
