Abstract
A multi-phase clock generator has a set of transistors, a first latch, and a second latch. The set of transistors may be arranged in a sense amplifier latch architecture, in which the set of transistors include a first inverter and a second inverter. The first inverter may provide a first phase data strobe signal and the second inverter may provide a second phase data strobe signal. The first latch and the second latch are coupled to the set of transistors. The set of transistors may receive a first portion of current at the first inverter and a second portion of current at the second inverter. The set of transistors may amplify the first portion of current in response to the first portion being greater than the second portion. The set of transistors may also drive the first phase data strobe signal using the amplified first portion.
