ABSTRACT:
A current sensing, cascadable differential amplifier has a special bias circuit that provides a low impedance input and a high impedance output, whereby plural stages may be connected in cascade. Optionally, active current sources are used as pull-ups for the data lines, to increase the output impedance and improve the data line common mode level. The amplifier performs as a current sensing sense amplifier in a large scale, fast access semiconductor memory and in this application, the memory does not need equalizing clock signals, nor is the access time slowed materially in the plural cascade stages.
