Abstract
A sense amplifier ( ) uses a body shorting device ( ) to selectively electrically short circuit the bodies of two transistors ( ) that function as a differential sensing pair. Equalization of charge injected into the bodies functions to minimize offset voltage between the two bodies. The body shorting device selectively shorts the bodies in response to a body control signal after a sense operation and after asserting a precharging signal to initiate precharging of the sense amplifier's outputs.
