ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, the delay associated with a logic stage external to a sense amplifier is eliminated by absorbing the logic state into the sense amplifier circuitry. The sense amplifier inputs are swapped based on a sense enable signal which may be a derivative signal of a Data In signal. The sense amplifier may sense continuously or it may be clocked. The sense enable circuitry may be applied to various types of sense amplifiers such as dynamic, current mirror, differential, cross coupled, and level shifting sense amplifiers.
