Abstract
The disclosure provides a method for controlling a sense amplifier. The control device includes a latch circuit and a control circuit. The latch circuit receives a plurality of memory data signals from the sense amplifier, wherein the latch circuit respectively generates a plurality of reference data signals based on the plurality of memory data signals. The control circuit is coupled to the latch circuit, provides an enable signal to the sense amplifier in response to a pass gate signal of the sense amplifier, and stops providing the enable signal in response to at least one of the plurality of reference data signals, wherein the enable signal controls a sensing period of the sense amplifier.
