ABSTRACT:
The sense circuit includes first and second inverters connected at their inputs to a signal input node and a reference node, respectively. The inverters are selectively biased to different quiescent points for charging the signal input node and the reference node to different quiescent voltage levels. Signals applied to the signal input and reference nodes cause the potential at these nodes to vary from their quiescent values. The inverters are selectively cross-coupled to form a flip flop whose binary value is determined by the outputs of the inverters. For the same value of signals applied to the two nodes the flip flop is set to the state dictated by the initial voltage offset due to the difference in the quiescent points of the inverters.
