Abstract

An electronic memory has a voltage sense amplifier coupled to a memory cell via a bit line for supply of an output signal under control of data stored in the cell. The sense amplifier is both powered and controlled by redistribution of electric charge, representative of the data and initially accumulated at the bit line, between the bit line and the output of the sense amplifier.
