Abstract

A memory that may allow for the detection of weak data storage cells may include data storage cells, a column multiplexer, a sense amplifier, and a load circuit. The load circuit may include one or more capacitive loads and may be operable to controllably select one or more of the capacitive loads to couple to the input of the sense amplifier.
