Abstract

This teaches a sense circuit for an integrated memory storage system in which the storage cell output is detected by a differential amplifier, controlling a flip-flop, serving as a latch, having load elements which also function as the load elements of the latch to ensure an optimum power and speed product. The latch can be coupled to an output driver circuit through a current switch which shares common elements with the latch to assure that the latch remains symmetrical even when used with an output driver having asymmetrical control.
