Abstract:
A tri-state sense amplifier is provided, which includes an enable input, a latch and an output driver. The latch has first and second complementary inputs and first and second complementary latch outputs, which are gated by the enable input. The output driver includes a data output, a pull-up transistor coupled to the data output and having a control terminal coupled to the first latch output, and a pull-down transistor coupled to the data output and having a control terminal coupled to the second latch output.
