Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling a sense amplifier are provided. First and second MOS transistors of a first type are connected in series between a first voltage potential and a node. A gate terminal of the first MOS transistor is coupled to a first data. A gate terminal of the second MOS transistor is coupled to a second data line. A third MOS transistor of a second type is connected between the node and a second voltage potential. The third MOS transistor has a gate terminal coupled to the first data line. A fourth MOS transistor of the second type is connected between the node and the second voltage potential in a parallel arrangement with the third MOS transistor. The fourth MOS transistor has a gate terminal coupled to the second data line. A control signal provided to a sense amplifier is based on a voltage of the node.
