Abstract

Novel differential edge-triggered sense amplifier (SA) capable of cascade connection is presented, the proposed SA can be used in memory units, as a line receiver and as a restoring element for small-swing logic. Cascade connection of the SA allows logic functions to be performed on small-swing differential signals directly, thus reducing delay and power
