Abstract
A pre-charge load device to pre-charge an input on a sense amplifier is coupled between a positive voltage rail and the input to the sense amplifier and is biased by a bias network coupled between the positive voltage rail and the sense amplifier input to adapt the sense amplifier slew rate in relation to large or unpredictable capacitive impedance changes on the sense amplifier input.
