Abstract
A sense amplifier includes a bistable circuit and a control circuit. The bistable circuit has first and second input/output terminals connected to two input lines via a gating circuit. The bistable circuit has positive and negative supply nodes, one of which is connected to the output of the control circuit. An inverter is connected from the control circuit output to the gating circuit so that the control circuit activates the bistable circuit at all times except when the gating circuit connects the input/output terminals to the input lines.
