Abstract
Approaches for a circuit are provided. The circuit includes a sense amplifier circuit which includes a plurality of transistors enabled by a sense amplifier enable signal to output a first output data line true signal and a second output data line complement signal to a latching circuit, and the latching circuit which includes a primary driver actively driven by the first output data line true signal and a secondary driver actively driven by the second output data line complement signal such that the latching circuit outputs a read global data line.
