Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a differential sense amplifier comprising first and second cross-coupled inverters with first and second complimentary storage nodes. A first current control element changes a current through the first cross-coupled inverter based upon an output of a second cross-coupled inverter, and a second current control element changes a current through the second cross-coupled inverter based upon an output of the first cross-coupled inverter. Other devices and methods are also disclosed.
