  • Sense amplifier look-through latch for FAMOS-based EPROM
    Patent number: 11495301
    Abstract: In one example a semiconductor device has a data latch that includes first and second transmission gates and first and second inverters. The first inverter is connected between a first terminal of the first transmission gate and a first terminal of the second transmission gate. The second inverter is connected between a second terminal of the first transmission gate and a second terminal of the second transmission gate. The data latch is configured to store a datum received at the connection between the first transmission gate and the second inverter, and to store a datum received at the connection between the second transmission gate and the first inverter.
