Abstract

A memory circuit includes a non-volatile memory cell, a sense amplifier coupled to the non-volatile memory cell, and configured to generate a first output signal, and a detection circuit coupled to the sense amplifier and the non-volatile memory cell. The detection circuit is configured to latch the first output signal and disrupt a current path between the non-volatile memory cell and the sense amplifier.
