ABSTRACT:
A bit line sense amplifier and method thereof are provided. The example bit line sense amplifier may include a sense amplifying circuit coupled between a first bit line and a second bit line. The sense amplifying circuit may be configured to amplify a voltage difference between the first bit line and the second bit line. The example bit line sense amplifier may further include a power supply voltage providing circuit configured to provide a first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage to the sense amplifying circuit in response to first and second bit line sensing control signals. The bit line sense amplifier may further include a bit line voltage compensation circuit configured to prevent a voltage-reduction at the first bit line and the second bit line for a delay period, the delay period including at least a period of time after a pre-charging of the first and second bit lines, in response to one or more of the first and second bit line sensing control signals.
