ABSTRACT:
According to embodiments of the subject matter disclosed in this application, a wide input common mode sense amplifier may include a level shifter stage and an amplifier stage. The level shifter comprises a CMOS differential amplifier that has a rail-to-rail input common mode range. The level shifter accepts two input signals with a common mode voltage in a rail-to-rail range and produces two output signals with a stable common mode voltage. The differential amplifier amplifies the two output signals from the level shifter stage with high gain. The disclosed sense amplifier may be used to measure delay between two discrete time events.
