Claim:
1. A sense amplifier comprising: a cross latch having a first input/output (I/O) node and a second I/O node; a first pass gate coupled between a first data line and the first I/O node; a second pass gate coupled between a second data line and the second I/O node; a first circuit coupled with the first I/O node and the second data line, and configured to be turned off when the second data line has a first logical value and to be at least lightly turned on by a transition of a voltage level on the second data line between the first logical value and a second logical value different from the first logical value; and a second circuit coupled with the second I/O node and the first data line, and configured to be turned off when the first data line has the first logical value and to be at least lightly turned on by a transition of a voltage level on the first data line between the first logical value and the second logical value, wherein
