ABSTRACT:
A sense amplifier of the invention includes a PMOS transistor, the source and the drain of which are respectively connected to a power source and an EP-ROM as a signal source to be detected, and the gate and the drain of which are controlled to be at the same potential, a PMOS transistor connected to the power source and the EP-ROM in parallel with the PMOS transistor, and a ratio circuit in which the gate of one PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor constituting a CMOS transistor is connected to the signal source. This arrangement of the invention enables a high speed operation.
