Abstract
A sense-amplifier circuit for a multivalued information storing memory is featured by a reduced current consumption realized without any elongation of delay time, which circuit comprises plural current-mirror sub-sense-amplifiers corresponding to plural reference potentials VREF, wherein those having higher reference potentials among the sub-sense-amplifiers are provided each with a current-limiting switching element QNX.
