Abstract

The present invention provides a self-timed differential amplifier, including an amplifier unit, having a pair of read/write terminals, wherein data is read or written by a select line; a pair of precharge transistors, controlled by a control line; and a pair of cross-coupled transistors, controlled by a column select line. Moreover, a complementary differential amplifier is formed by the combination of the pair of precharge transistors and the pair of cross-coupled transistors. The pair of the precharge transistors and the pair of cross-coupled transistors are connected to the pair of read/write terminals of the amplifier unit.
