Abstract:
1. A sense amplifier output buffer configured to buffer an output of a sense amplifier, the sense amplifier output buffer comprising: a first pull-up element having a source coupled to a first DC supply terminal and a drain coupled to an output terminal of the sense amplifier output buffer; a first pull-down element in series with the first pull-up element and having a source coupled to a second DC supply terminal and a drain coupled to the output terminal; and a Miller capacitance decoupling circuit coupled between the drain of the first pull-up element and the drain of the first pull-down element, wherein the miller capacitance decoupling circuit is configured to decouple Miller capacitance associated with the drains of the pull-up and pull-down elements from the output terminal; wherein control terminals of the first pull-up element and the first pull-down element are coupled to the output of the sense amplifier.
