Abstract
A sensor with a dynamic latch comprising having a sensor coupled to a gain amplifier, a delay circuit connected to the gain amplifier and a summing circuit coupled through first and second nodes to the gain amplifier. The sensor with a dynamic latch further comprises an output stage coupled to a comparator circuit and the summing circuit and to third and fourth nodes and first and second energy storing devices coupled to the comparator circuit.
Claims11
A sensor dynamic latch arrangement comprising:
- a sensor;
- an output;
- a regenerative latch coupled to the sensor and to the output, wherein the regenerative latch is responsive to an input signal from the sensor to provide an output signal on the output according to a hysteresis, wherein the regenerative latch is arranged to remember the output signal upon a power interruption of the regenerative latch, and wherein the regenerative latch is arranged to regenerate the output signal on the output after power is resumed.
