Abstract

According to an exemplary embodiments, the disclosure is directed to a memory circuit which includes not limited to a first half sense amplifier circuit connected to a first plurality of memory cells through a first bit line and configured to receive a unit of analog electrical signal from each of the first plurality of memory cells and to generate a first half sense amplifier output signal corresponding to the first bit line based on a first gain of the half sense amplifier and an accumulation of the units of analog signals, a locking code register circuit configured to receive a locking data and to generate a digital locking sequence, and a source selector circuit configured to receive the digital locking sequence and to generate a first adjustment signal to adjust the first half sense amplifier output signal corresponding to the first bit line by adjusting the first gain.
