Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure includes circuits and methods for latching signals. In one embodiment, two inverters are configured back to back to latch a signal. Each inverter includes a capacitor configured between control terminals of inverter transistors. In one embodiment, the circuit is part of a comparator. First and second voltages are received on control terminals of differential transistors, and a differential output signal is coupled to two back to back inverters. In one embodiment, a circuit is disabled and a voltage on a control terminal of a transistor in an inverter is set below a reference, such as a power supply, to increase the speed of the circuit.
