Claim:
1. A device, comprising: a sense amplifier coupled to complimentary bitlines, wherein the sense amplifier is configured to receive complimentary data signals from the complimentary bitlines and provide first and second sensed data signals based on the received complimentary data signals, and wherein the second sensed data signal is a compliment of the first sensed data signal; a balance coupler coupled to the sense amplifier and configured to receive the second sensed data signal from the sense amplifier and provide a modified second sensed data signal having capacitance similar to the first sensed data signal; and a latch coupled to the sense amplifier and the balance coupler, wherein the latch is configured to receive the first sensed data signal from the sense amplifier, receive the modified second sensed data signal from the balance coupler, and provide a latched data signal based on the first and modified second sensed data signals.
