Abstract :
This paper describes new current-mode sense amplifiers for high density DRAM and PIM architectures. New dynamic-load latch-type and hybrid-type current-mode amplifiers are proposed and evaluated in terms of delay, power-delay product and energy-delay product for aluminum and copper interconnects
