Sense amplifier-type latch circuits with static bias current for enhanced operating frequency
Abstract:
Sense amplifier-type latch circuits are provided which employ static bias currents for enhancing operating frequency. For example, a sense amplifier-type latch circuit includes a latch circuit that captures and stores data during an evaluation phase of the sense amplifier-type latch circuit, and outputs the stored data to differential output nodes. An input differential transistor pair has drains connected to the latch circuit and sources commonly connected to a coupled source node. A static bias current circuit is connected to the coupled source node to provide a static bias current which flows through the differential transistor pair and cross-coupled inverters of the latch during a precharge phase. A switch device, which is connected to the coupled source node, is turned off during the precharge phase and turned on during the evaluation phase by operation of a clock signal to increase current flow through the differential transistor pair.
