Zusammenfassung:A high speed sense amplifier particularly suited for use with ECL compatible integrated memory components. The sense amplifier is basically a two-stage amplifier having an input stage and an output stage. The input stage is a low input impedance differential current amplifier and the output stage is a differentially driven current switch typically coupled to a standard single ended ECL emitter follower output. The differential current amplifier used for the input stage responds to a low input current. The response time of the amplifier is short even in the presence of relatively high capacitance at the input terminals due to the circuitry connected thereto.
