Abstract:
A latching sense amplifier includes an input stage and an output stage. The output stage is coupled to the input stage. The output stage includes a first output node, a second output node, a pull-up circuit, and a pull-down circuit. The pull-up circuit includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a latch circuit. The first transistor is configured to pull up the first output node. The second transistor is configured to pull up the second output node. The latch circuit is configured to control the first transistor and the second transistor. The pull-down circuit includes a latch circuit configured to pull-down the first output node based on a voltage of the second output node.
