ABSTRACT:
A non-volatile memory in which, during read operations, the sense amplifier's first input is connected not only to a selected non-programmed reference cell, but also to a current of a value one half the current that flows in a programmed cell; and the sense amplifier's second input is connected not only to a selected matrix cell to be read, but also to a current of a value one half the current that flows in a non-programmed cell.
