Apparatuses and methods of power supply control for threshold voltage compensated sense amplifiers

Abstract:

Apparatuses including threshold voltage compensated sense amplifiers and methods for compensating same are disclosed. An example threshold voltage compensated sense amplifier according to the disclosure includes circuits, such as a first transistor having a first conductivity type coupled to a first node and a second node; a second transistor having a second conductivity type coupled to the first node and at third node; a plurality of transistors coupled to the second node and further configured to receive a power supply voltage; and a control circuit configured to provide a plurality of control signals to the plurality of transistors. The control circuit provides the plurality of control signals indicative of a first drive strength in a first memory operation and further provides the plurality of signals indicative of a second drive strength in a second memory operation.
