Abstract

A high-speed sense amplifier includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters coupled to intermediate nodes and then to differential inputs nodes by a control circuit. The intermediate nodes are coupled together by a accelerator transistor that forms a current path when the sense amplifier is placed in a sensing state to provide parallel discharge paths for one or the other of output nodes. During precharge, the accelerator transistor operates to equalize the intermediate nodes to ready them for the next sense phase.
