Abstract :
A novel design of 0.25 μm 2.5V 2T-2C sensing scheme for FeRAM is proposed. The proposed scheme converts the voltage signals between the two bit lines to current signals and compares them using the current-sensing amplifier to realize magnify the read-out signals of 2T-2C FeRAM. The simulation of PSPICE shows that the new sensing scheme is more suitable for low voltage supply applications and the sensing speed is improved.
