Abstract:
A sense amplifier of a memory array may be provided to amplify data presented from storage cells of the memory array. Additionally, a sense amplifier latch may be provided to store data received from the sense amplifier. The sense amplifier may be enabled for operation by a sense amplifier enable signal that is distinct from a clock signal. Moreover, the latch enable signal of the sense amplifier latch may be controlled by the sense amplifier enable signal, such that the sense amplifier latch opens in response to activation of the sense amplifier and closes in response to deactivation of the sense amplifier.
