Abstract

A read data latch circuit that requires only two phases to execute a data read cycle. The date read lines and data latch lines are precharged and equalized during the data read cycle. A separate phase for equalizing the data latch nodes is eliminated. Rather, the data latch nodes charge share with the previously equalized and precharged data lines. The latch nodes are effectively precharged and equalized, as the capacitance on the data lines is much larger than the capacitance on the data latch nodes.
