Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
As shown in fig. 1, a sense amplifier includes an amplifying module 100, and the amplifying module 100 includes a seventh P-type transistor P7, an eighth P-type transistor P8, a seventh N-type transistor N7, and an eighth N-type transistor N8.
The source of the seventh P-type transistor P7 is connected to the source of the eighth P-type transistor P8 to serve as the first terminal LA of the amplification module 100, and the source of the seventh N-type transistor N7 is connected to the source of the eighth N-type transistor N8 to serve as the second terminal LAB of the amplification module 100. The gate of the seventh P-type transistor P7 is connected to the drain of the eighth P-type transistor P8, and the gate of the eighth P-type transistor P8 is connected to the drain of the seventh P-type transistor P7. The drain of the seventh P-type transistor P7 is connected to the drain of the seventh N-type transistor N7, and then to the complementary sense bit line SABLB. After the drain of the eighth P-type transistor P8 is connected to the drain of the eighth N-type transistor N8, the gate of the seventh N-type transistor N7 connected to the read bit line SABL is connected to the bit line BL, and the gate of the eighth N-type transistor N8 is connected to the complementary bit line BLB.
The amplification block 100 further includes a ninth N-type transistor N9 and a tenth N-type transistor N10. A first terminal of the ninth N-type transistor N9 is connected to the bit line, and a second terminal of the ninth N-type transistor N9 is connected to the drain of the seventh N-type transistor N7. A second terminal of the tenth N-type transistor N10 is connected to the complementary bit line BLB, and a first terminal of the tenth N-type transistor N10 is connected to the drain of the eighth N-type transistor N8.
The amplification block 100 further includes an eleventh N-type transistor N11 and a twelfth N-type transistor N12. A first end of the eleventh N-type transistor N11 is connected to the bit line BL, and a second end of the eleventh N-type transistor N11 is connected to the drain of the eighth N-type transistor N8. A first terminal of the twelfth N-type transistor N12 is connected to the drain of the seventh N-type transistor N7, and a second terminal of the twelfth N-type transistor N12 is connected to the complementary bit line BLB.
During the offset canceling phase T2, the ninth N-type transistor N9 and the tenth N-type transistor N10 are both turned on, and the seventh N-type transistor N7 and the eighth N-type transistor N8 are both operated in a diode state, generating a compensation voltage Vos on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB, and also generating a compensation voltage Vos on the sense bit line SABL and the complementary sense bit line SABLB.
Since the compensation voltage Vos is already stored on the sensing bit line SABL and the complementary sensing bit line SABLB, the compensation voltage Vos can cancel the noise signal of the amplifying block 100 during the sensing amplifying stage, so that the data can be accurately represented on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB.
In the recovery phase, the eleventh N-type transistor N11 and the twelfth N-type transistor N12 are both turned on, the bit line BL is connected to the sense bit line SABL, and the complementary bit line BLB is connected to the complementary sense bit line SABLB, so that data recovery in the memory cell is achieved.
The magnitude of the compensation voltage Vos affects the noise cancellation effect, and the noise signal of the amplification module 100 cannot be accurately cancelled when the compensation voltage Vos is too large or too small. The magnitude of the compensation voltage Vos is related to the pulse width of the offset cancellation signal. When the pulse width of the offset canceling signal of the amplifying block 100 is larger, a larger compensation voltage Vos may be formed on the sensing bit line SABL and the complementary sensing bit line SABLB. As the pulse width of the offset canceling signal of the amplifying block 100 is smaller, the compensation voltage Vos formed on the sensing bit line SABL and the complementary sensing bit line SABLB is smaller. Therefore, in the design stage of the sense amplifier, it is necessary to design a proper pulse width of the offset cancellation signal to achieve a proper compensation voltage Vos formed on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB.
However, the driving capability of the sense amplifier also varies when the temperature of the sense amplifier varies. As shown in fig. 2A, when the temperature of the sense amplifier is moderate, the voltage driving capability of the sense amplifier is moderate, and the compensation voltage Vos of a proper magnitude can be generated on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB. As shown in fig. 2B, when the temperature of the sense amplifier becomes high, the voltage driving capability of the transistors in the amplification block 100 becomes weak, the offset voltage Vos formed at the offset canceling stage T2 becomes small, and the noise signal of the amplification block 100 cannot be canceled. As shown in fig. 2C, when the temperature of the sense amplifier is relatively low, the voltage driving capability of the transistor in the amplifying module 100 is relatively strong, and the offset voltage Vos formed in the offset canceling stage T2 becomes large, so that new noise is introduced.
In order to more accurately form a compensation voltage Vos of an appropriate magnitude on a sense bit line SABL and a complementary sense bit line SABLB, the present disclosure provides a sense amplifier and a semiconductor memory including an amplification block 100 and a control block 200, the control block 200 adjusting a pulse width of an offset canceling signal based on temperature data of the amplification block 100 to compensate for a variation in voltage driving capability of transistors within the amplification block 100, achieving generation of the compensation voltage Vos of an appropriate magnitude on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB, accurately canceling a noise signal of the amplification block 100, and improving accuracy of the sense amplifier.
As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sense amplifier, which includes a control module 200 and an amplification module 100, where the amplification module 100 has a control terminal, and the control module 200 has an input terminal and an output terminal.

The amplifying module 100 is used for canceling the noise signal of the amplifying module 100 under the control of the second offset canceling signal OC2.
When the temperature data of the amplifying module 100 becomes larger, the pulse width of the second offset cancellation signal OC2 outputted by the control module 200 is larger to compensate the situation that the voltage driving capability of the amplifying module 100 becomes weaker with the temperature rise thereof, so as to generate the compensation voltage Vos with proper magnitude on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB.
When the temperature data of the amplifying module 100 becomes smaller, the pulse width of the second offset canceling signal OC2 outputted by the control module 200 is smaller to compensate for the situation that the voltage driving capability of the amplifying module 100 becomes stronger as the temperature thereof decreases, so as to generate the compensating voltage Vos of a proper magnitude on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB.
In the above technical solution, the sense amplifier includes a control module 200 and an amplification module 100, where the control module 200 is configured to adjust a pulse width of the first offset cancellation signal OC1 according to temperature data of the amplification module 100 to compensate a situation that a voltage driving capability of the amplification module 100 changes with a temperature change, so that a compensation voltage Vos with a proper magnitude is generated on the bit line BL and the complementary bit line BLB, a noise signal of the amplification module 100 is accurately cancelled, and accuracy of the sense amplifier is improved.
