Abstract
A new charge transfer sense amplifier scheme is proposed for high speed 0.5 V DRAMs. The combination of both cross-coupled structure and boost capacitance of the proposed sense amplifier leads to the maximum voltage difference between sense nodes and 40% faster operation than prior art circuits.
