Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, a current-balanced logic circuit includes a first sense amplifier, a second sense amplifier, and a current-source transistor which provides bias current to the first and second sense amplifiers. The first and second sense amplifiers are alternately activated by first and second differential clock signals, and when activated convert data received on differential input lines into logical values for storage in respective storage circuits. The storage circuits may be flip-flops, latches, keeper circuits, or other circuits for storing data.
