Abstract:
A sense amplifier comprises a cross coupled pair of inverters, a first transistor, a second transistor, and a capacitive device. The cross coupled pair of inverters includes a first end, a second end, and a third end. The first end is configured to receive a first supply voltage. The second end is coupled with a first terminal of the capacitive device and a first terminal of the first transistor. The third end is coupled with a second terminal of the capacitive device and a first terminal of the second transistor. A second terminal of the first transistor and a second terminal of the second transistor are coupled together and are configured to receive a first control signal. A third terminal of the first transistor and a third terminal of the second transistor are coupled together and are configured to receive a second supply voltage different from the first supply voltage.
