Abstract
A process-tolerant large-swing sense amplifier with latching capability includes top-array and bottom-array access. The sense amplifier provides improved tolerance to process variation, reduces design complexity, reduces power consumption, and reduces the physical footprint of the circuit. In addition, the sense amplifier provides write-through functionality through the read data bus.
