ABSTRACT:
A CMOS current sense amplifier is composed of an output inverter gate, a combined driver and biasing stage that biases the output inverter gate and drives its transistors, and an input stage that acts to reduce the input voltage swing. The circuit responds rapidly to input current changes and is therefore useful in sensing the currents in large memory arrays that have large shunt capacitance values.
