Abstract

A sensing amplifier that works over a large operating frequency having a plurality of reference inputs, at least one signal input and at least one signal output, where the amplifier comprises a plurality of transistors to internally compare the signal input to the average value of the reference inputs and producing an output based on the comparison. In some cases, the output can be a latched binary signal.
