Abstract

A nonvolatile memory comprising an array of memory cells and sense amplifiers, each sense amplifier using a keeper circuit to provide an amount of current to compensate for bit line leakage current in the memory array. The amount of current from the keeper depends on the temperature of the memory and the speed of the process used to make the memory.
