Abstract

A sense amplifier circuit comprising a first-, second-, third- and fourth-amplification-blocks, each amplification-block comprising: an amplification-block-transistor comprising and an amplification-block-resistor. The amplification-block-transistor includes: a first-conduction-channel-terminal, a second-conduction-channel-terminal that is connected to an amplification-block-output-node, and a control-terminal that is connected to an amplification-block-control-node. The sense amplifier circuit also comprises: an amplification-block-resistor connected in series between an amplification-block-input-node and the first-conduction-channel-terminal; a first-bias-voltage-source connected to the amplification-block-control-nodes of the first- and third-amplification-blocks, a second-bias-voltage-source connected to the amplification-block-control-nodes of the second- and fourth-amplification-blocks. The sense amplifier circuit also comprises: a first-common-mode-voltage-resistor connected in series between a first-sensed-output-terminal and a common-mode-voltage-node; and a second-common-mode-voltage-resistor connected in series between a second-sensed-output-terminal and the common-mode-voltage-node.
