Abstract
An accelerator circuit is provided that includes an inverter chain having an input coupled to a data line and a sense circuit having inputs coupled to an output of the inverter chain and the data line. The sense circuit is configured to sense a rise toward a supply voltage on the data line or a fall toward a ground voltage on the data line. The accelerator circuit further includes an amplify circuit having inputs coupled to outputs of the sense circuit and an output coupled to the data line, where the amplify circuit is configured to amplify the data line toward the supply voltage or toward the ground voltage based on amplify enable signals output by the sense circuit.
