Abstract

Sensing of information from a memory cell via a plateline is disclosed. The memory cell comprises a bitline coupled to a junction of a cell transistor while the other junction is coupled to an electrode of the capacitor. The bitline is coupled to a constant voltage source. A plateline is coupled to the other capacitor electrode.
