The course of work of this sense amplifier is as follows:
As Enable Pin SA_EN=Vdd, the 4th phase inverter I7 output low level, rest-set flip-flop exports high level, second switch pipe N3 conducting; Simultaneously, second Sheffer stroke gate I4 exports high level, 5th phase inverter I3 output low level, make the 3rd switching tube P3 and the 5th switching tube P4 conducting, thus make the signal on bit line BL and BLN transfer to SO node (points of common connection of the first PMOS P1 and the first NMOS tube N1) and the SON node (points of common connection of the second PMOS P0 and the second NMOS tube N0) of latch-type amplifying circuit respectively.
When the differential voltage on bit line BL and BLN is enough large, control circuit in static RAM makes described Enable Pin SA_EN=0, 4th phase inverter I7 exports high level, therefore, first switching tube N2 conducting, simultaneously, due to the maintenance Last status of rest-set flip-flop, export high level, second switch pipe N3 conducting, and, two of the second Sheffer stroke gate I4 input ends are made to be high level, output terminal is low level, 5th phase inverter I3 exports high level pulse, therefore, 3rd switching tube P3 and the 5th switching tube P4 turns off, close bit line BL and SO node and the path between bit line BLN and SON node.Now, the first switching tube N2 and second switch pipe N3 conducting simultaneously, latch-type amplifying circuit is started working, and by low level signal amplification to logic level, makes latch bit line GBL or GBLN be pulled down to low level.
Latch bit line GBL or GBLN with a concrete example introduction below and be pulled down to low level process:
When bit line BL is logic high 1, bit line BLN and bit line BL is complementary, for low level small-signal 0, signal now on BLN after latch-type amplifying circuit is amplified to logic level, through the second phase inverter I9 carry out anti-phase after, obtain logic high, thus make the 6th switching tube N7 conducting, due to the source ground of the 6th switching tube, therefore, latch bit line GBLN and be pulled to low level; In like manner, when bit line BL is logic low, latch bit line GBL and be pulled to low level.
