Abstract
A sense amp and latch for sensing and latching data on a plurality of bit and inverse bit lines is provided. A sense amp power line which connects the sense amp to a ground line also decouples the bit lines from the sense amp during the evaluation process. The circuit allows for automatic latching of the data which the sense amp evaluated without requiring the generation of other timing signals. Capacitive loading on each of the two sides of the sense amp are equal.
