Abstract
A current mirror sense amplifier, with a two-stage current mirror, a first transistor, and a second transistor. The first transistor and the second transistor each have first and second connection terminals. The current mirror has a current input terminal and a current output terminal. The first transistor has a gate electrically connected to a pre-charge voltage. The first connection terminal of the first transistor is electrically connected to a reference voltage. The second transistor has a gate electrically connected to a reference signal. The first connection terminal of the second transistor is electrically connected to the reference voltage. The second connection terminals are connected to the current output terminal in parallel.
