A new single ended sense amplifier is presented in this paper. It is based on a very simple direct current-voltage conversion. It has been designed in standard CMOS process for embedded non-volatile memories. Its performances are compared to one of the actually most integrated sense amplifiers, based on differential structures. A 40% faster access time has been obtained at 1.8V.
