摘要:
The invention pertains to a circuit for controlling the power to a plurality of sense amplifiers used for sensing data on data lines in an array of floating gate storage cells, wherein the data stored in the array is sensed at regular intervals. The circuit includes a first plurality of data paths through the array, and a second data path containing replications of all necessary circuit elements in the first plurality of data paths to assure that the data delay through the second path equals or exceeds the maximum delay in any of the first plurality of data paths. A clock (CLK) is used to provide an initiation signal which starts the propogation of input data through the array. The control circuit of the invention reduces the power consumption of the sense amplifiers because they are powered only during the duration of data transmission, but are otherwise powered down.
