Abstract:
A sense amplifier includes a first pair of transistors having gate terminals respectively coupled to a first input terminal for receiving a first input signal and to a second input terminal for receiving a second input signal, source terminals coupled to a first power supply terminal, and drain terminals. The sense amplifier also includes a second pair of transistors having gate terminals coupled to a clock terminal, source terminals respectively coupled to the drain terminals of the first pair of transistors, and drain terminals. The sense amplifier also includes a third pair of transistors having gate terminals coupled to the clock terminal, drain terminals respectively coupled to the drain terminals of the second pair of transistors, and source terminals coupled to a second power supply terminal. In addition, the sense amplifier includes an output circuit coupled to the drain terminals of the second pair of transistors and having an output terminal.
