Abstract

The sense amplifier includes: an amplification module configured to amplify a voltage transmitted by a bit line or a reference bit line, when the sense amplifier is at an amplification stage; a first switch module configured to control the amplification module to be disconnected from the reference bit line, when the sense amplifier performs a read operation for the bit line and is at the amplification stage. In the disclosure, the power consumption of the sense amplifier may be reduced.
