ABSTRACT:
The memory, in integrated circuit form, is supplied with a low supply voltage and includes a read circuit enabling the detection of the state of the cells of the memory. In a current mirror of the read circuit, there is provided a shifting circuit between the drain and the gate of a reference transistor. The shifting circuit may include a shift transistor and a bias transistor.
