Abstract

A sense amplifier includes a sense input node, a current mirror circuit to mirror the current on the sense input node, and a result output node. A current source supplies an offset current. The sense amplifier increases the current on the sense input node by the offset current and reduces the offset current from the mirrored current at the result output node.
