ABSTRACT:
An improved storage system for use with computers. The system includes a memory array bifurcated into a first and second array segment and a differential sense amplifier configured for selective operation in a first mode establishing one array segment as a reference load and the other array segment as a dynamic load, and a second mode establishing the other array segment as a reference load and the one array segment as a dynamic load. The amplifier senses changes in a parameter in the dynamic load with respect to the reference load.
