Sense-amplifying circuit
The present invention provides a single-ended signal detection circuit (sense-amplifier) which exhibits a little power consumption and performs a high speed operation. A sense-amplifying circuit (100) detects a signal on one signal line to amplify the detected signal. A sensing switch composed of first and second switches (13, 14), each of which is connected to a source terminal of the sense-amplifying circuit and to a constant current source (15), the first switch being connected to a signal line (10) and the second switch being connected to a reference potential (Vref), wherein a driving force of the first switch is larger than that of the second switch.
