Abstract

A plurality sense amplifiers have first and second internal nodes representing respectively, true and complement values of a latched value. A plurality of transfer circuits are provided with one of the transfer circuits disposed between and coupled to each adjacent pairs of the sense amplifiers. The transfer circuits transfer true and complement values between a previous and a next sense amplifier, thereby providing a scannable sense amplifier.
