Abstract:
In certain aspects, a memory device includes memory bit cells coupled to a read bit line, and a first sense amplifier having a first input coupled to the read bit line, and a first output. The memory device also includes a latch amplifier having a first input coupled to the first output of the first sense amplifier, an enable input, and an output. The memory device also includes one or more dummy bit cells coupled to a dummy bit line, and a second sense amplifier having a first input coupled to the dummy bit line, and an output. The memory device further includes a trigger circuit having an input coupled to the output of the second sense amplifier, and an output coupled to the enable input of the latch amplifier.
