A ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) device includes a memory cell
array including a plurality of FRAM cells connected to a first bit line
and a reference cell connected to a second bit line. The device also
includes a sense amplifier circuit configured to evaluate an amount of
charges induced in a FRAM cell at a first mode and sense data stored in
the FRAM cell at a second mode, wherein the sense amplifier circuit
comprises a reference voltage generator configured to output an
externally applied voltage as a reference voltage at the first mode, and
output the reference voltage in response to a voltage applied to the
second bit line from the reference cell and a voltage charged to an
offset node at the second mode, and an amplifier circuit configured to
sense and amplify a difference between a voltage applied to the first bit
line from a selected FRAM cell and the reference voltage.
