A memory has a pre-amplifier for generating an output signal and a reference signal. The memory includes a comparator for comparing the output signal to the reference signal. The comparator includes a bias stage for generating a bias signal, wherein the bias signal is an average of the output signal and the reference signal. The comparator further includes a first output stage for generating a first comparator output signal by comparing the output signal and the bias signal. The comparator further includes a second output stage for generating a second comparator output signal by comparing the reference signal and the bias signal.
In a memory having a pre-amplifier for generating at least one output signal and at least one reference signal, the memory further comprising at least one comparator for comparing one of the at least one output signal to one of the at least one reference signal, the at least one comparator comprising:
In a circuit having a pre-amplifier for generating an output signal and a reference signal, a method comprising:
