READ OPERATION<br />

(Destructive Read)<br />

•Precharge BL to 0 V<br />

•Activating WL establishes a capacitor<br />

divider between the PL and the ground is<br />

established<br />

•Depending on the data stored, FE<br />

capacitor can be approximated by C0 or C1<br />

and thus voltage could be V0 or V1<br />

•PL raised to VDD<br />

•At this point, the sense amplifier is<br />

activated to drive the BL<br />

If BL is V1 then full VDD<br />

If BL is V0 then full 0V<br />

•The WL is kept activated until the sensed<br />

voltage on the BL restores the original data<br />

back into the memory cell<br />
