Abstract

A sense amplify enable (SAE) signal is generated on a SAE line by receiving a trigger signal at a first circuit portion coupled to a first domain power supply and a second circuit portion coupled to a second domain power supply. The second domain power supply is separate and distinct from the first domain power supply. The first circuit portion and the second circuit portion are each further coupled to the SAE line for carrying the SAE signal. For a first period of time, a first portion of the SAE signal is generated based on the first domain power supply using the first circuit portion. And, for second period of time, a second portion of the SAE signal is generated based on the second domain power supply using a second circuit portion.
