Abstract:
A programmable memory including a self-latching read data path. A sense amplifier senses the voltage level at a bit line, the bit line communicating the data state of a selected memory cell in its associated column. A data latch coupled to the output of the sense amplifier passes the sensed data state. Set-reset logic is provided that receives the output of the data latch in the read data path and, in response to a transition of the data state in a read cycle, latches the data latch and isolates it from the sense amplifier. The set-reset logic resets the data latch at the start of the next read cycle. In some embodiments, a timer is provided so that the latch is reset after a time-out period in a long read cycle in which no data transition occurs.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein the storage element of the data latch comprises:\n a first inverter having an input coupled to the first pass gate and an output; a second inverter having an input coupled to the output of the first inverter and an output; and a second pass gate coupled between the output of the second inverter and the input of the first inverter; and wherein the step of setting the data latch comprises closing the second pass gate.
