    • Ferroelectric memory devices contain an array of ferroelectric memory cells therein and control circuits for enabling the performance of nondestructive read operations. The memory cells of a device contain a ferroelectric memory cell and each memory cell contains a ferroelectric capacitor having a first electrode electrically coupled to a plate line and an access transistor electrically coupled in series between a bit line and a second electrode of the ferroelectric capacitor. A decoder circuit is also provided. The decoder circuit is electrically coupled to the access transistor of the memory cell by a word line and performs the function of, among other things, turning on the access transistor during a read time interval. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, a pulse generator circuit is provided for initiating nondestructive reading of a quiescent polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor by applying a single read pulse to the plate line to sweep a polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor along a noncoercive portion of its hysteresis curve, during the read time interval. A sense amplifier circuit is also provided. The sense amplifier circuit also has a first input electrically coupled to the bit line and a second input electrically coupled to a reference signal line. The sense amplifier performs the function of driving the bit line to a first potential which represents the quiescent polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor, preferably before termination of the single read pulse.

    • Integrated circuit memory devices contain a ferroelectric random access memory cell array and a ferroelectric reference cell array electrically coupled to a plurality of bit lines, a sense amplifier and a plate/bit line selection switch, coupled to the plurality of bit lines, for configuring selected bit lines as plate lines by selectively coupling first ones of the plurality of bit lines to the sense amplifier and by selectively coupling second ones of the plurality of bit lines to a plate line, in response to a column select signal. The inclusion of a selection switch and related driving circuits eliminates the need to provide extra dedicated plate lines because each of the bit lines can be at least temporarily configured as a plate line during reading and writing operations. The reference cell array also preferably comprises a plurality of ferroelectric reference cells which each comprise first and second access transistors therein and first and second ferroelectric capacitors therein which store complementary states. During a reading operation, the complementary data stored in the first and second ferroelectric reference capacitors is simultaneously provided to a portion of a first bit line which is electrically connected to a second input of a sense amplifier. Data in a memory cell within the array is also provided to another portion of the first bit line which is electrically connected to a first input of the sense amplifier. The sense amplifier is then activated to amplify a difference in potential between the different portions of the first bit line as complementary signals and then the signals are provided as output data.
