Abstract
Offset-cancellation provides low-voltage DRAM operation. The offset cancelling bit-line sense amplifiers are pitch-matched to the conventional 0.16 /spl mu/m DRAM cell array without process modifications. Results indicate better refresh characteristics than conventional bit-line sense amplifiers even at 1.5 V.
