Current-mode sense amplifier

An electronic circuit, comprising:

• a current sense amplifier comprising:
• a first cross coupled inverter having a first source coupled to a sense current input;
• a second cross coupled inverter having a second source coupled to a reference current input;
• a transmission gate having first and second transmission ends, the first transmission end is operatively coupled to a first input of the first cross coupled inverter and the second transmission end is operatively coupled to a second input of the second cross coupled inverter, the transmission gate having a gate input which is operatively coupled to a control line input, wherein the transmission gate switches each cross coupled inverter to a first state based on the control line input;
• and
• one or more static memory cells, each of the static memory cells comprising a first data output operatively coupled to the current sense amplifier, each first data output configured for outputting data stored in the respective memory cell.
