1. A single-ended low-swing power-savings mechanism, comprising:
a precharge device coupled to a first biasing device, wherein the precharge device turns off in an evaluation phase and wherein the first biasing device is always on; a second biasing device coupled to a keeper device, wherein, responsive to an input of the second biasing device being at a first voltage level, a strength of the keeper device is changed to a first level, and wherein, responsive to the input of the second biasing device being at a second voltage level, the strength of the keeper device is changed to a second level; a first node coupled to the precharge device, the biasing device, the keeper device, and an input of an inverting amplifier, wherein, responsive to receiving a precharged voltage level read data line signal, precharged voltage level of the first node falls faster when the keeper device is weakened to a first level; and the keeper device coupled to an output of the inverting amplifier and a global bit line, wherein the keeper device turns on in response to receiving a LOW signal from the inverting amplifier and pulls up the voltage at the first node so that a HIGH signal is output onto a global data line. |
