ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of sensing data in a semiconductor device. First, an equalizing instructing signal is provided to stop precharging and equalizing the bit line pair while in a reading state. Then a wordline is selected to transmit the data in a memory cell to one of the pair of bit lines for obtaining a potential difference between the bit line pair. A sensing enable signal is subsequently provided to activate the shared sense amplifier for sensing and amplifying the data. And a potential level of the selecting control signal is boosted to a boosted potential level to restore and read the data by delaying a predetermined period of time.
