Using Power Reduction Techniques, a Comparison of Differential and Latch Type Sense Amplifier Circuits

Abstract

Researchers have investigated several different sense amplifiers’ yield and other quantitative features. Amplification is required for various power-saving methods, including the sleep transistor, the sleep stack, the sleepy keeper, and others. This study aims to evaluate how much energy is consumed by the many different sense amplifier topologies. Simulations have shown that adopting a sleep transistor approach can significantly reduce the amount of power lost even while operating at 1.2V.
