A memory sense amplifier includes an output and a complement output. The sense amplifier is configured such that a memory cell driving the bit line low enables latching of the bit line low by enabling pull-up of the complement output, and the memory cell driving the complement bit line low enables latching of the complement bit line low by enabling pull-up of the output.
