ABSTRACT:
A MOS sense amplifier having a differential input and a single-ended output, and formed of only six MOS transistors. The amplifier's non-inverting input is connected to the gates of first and second MOSFETs. The drains of the first and second MOSFETs are connected to each other and to the gates of third and fourth MOSFETs. The drain of the third MOSFET is connected to the sources of the second and sixth MOSFETs; and the source of the third MOSFET is connected to the positive supply voltage. The drain of the fourth MOSFET is connected to the sources of the first and fifth MOSFETs. The source of the fourth MOSFET is connected to ground. The inverting input of the sense amplifier is connected to the gates of the fifth and sixth MOSFETs. The drains of the fifth and sixth MOSFETs are connected to each other and provide the output terminus of the amplifier. The first, fourth and fifth MOSFETs are n-channel devices, while the second, third and sixth MOSFETs are p-channel devices.
