The sense amplifier can be used in memory applications to sense states of stored bits with high accuracy and robustness. In one sense amplifier, a first diode-connected transistor has gate and drain nodes coupled to an input node of the sense amplifier, a second transistor has a gate node coupled to the gate node of the first diode-connected transistor, and the PTM is coupled to the source node of the second transistor. In another sense amplifier, a first transistor has a gate node coupled to an input node of the sense amplifier, a PTM is coupled to the source node of the first transistor, and an output stage including an inverter is coupled between a drain node of the first transistor and an output node of the sense amplifier.

Abstract: A feeding bowl securement apparatus is provided to secure pet feeding bowls to an underlying surface by action of a suction cup base portion settable to maintain a partial vacuum thereunder. The suction cup is may be disengaged by manual action at a protuberant tab portion disposed upwardly projected from the suction cup base portion. A top portion is devised to sealably fit to at least a portion of an existing pet feeding dish. In one embodiment the top portion encapsulates the existing feeding bowl and includes a frustoconical wall section and an upper rim into which the rim of the to existing feeding bowl seats. The feeding bowl securement apparatus therefore enables securement of a pet feeding bowl to an underlying surface to prevent tipping and displacement thereupon.
