Abstract

A sense amplifier (10) has a pair of cross-coupled latches (12, 14, 16, 18) connected between a first voltage supply (V.sub.DD) and the sources of two transistors (20, 22). The gates of the two transistors receive a voltage differential to be sensed. The drains of the two transistors are coupled to a second voltage supply (V.sub.SS) through an enabling transistor (24). The resulting sense amplifier is fast, small, and relatively simple to construct.
