Abstract

A sense amplifier circuit is provided with a first transistor arrangement comprising a first n-type field effect transistor (NFET) having a respective body node, and a second transistor arrangement comprising a second NFET having a respective body node. The second transistor arrangement is electrically coupled to the first transistor arrangement, and the body node of the first NFET is electrically coupled to the body node of the second NFET. The sense amplifier circuit also includes or cooperates with a voltage condition selector that is electrically coupled to the body node of the first NFET and to the body node of the second NFET. The voltage condition selector is configured to assert one of a plurality of voltage conditions at the body node of the first NFET and at the body node of the second NFET.
