A sense amplifier that is configurable to operate in two modes in order to control a voltage swing on the sense amplifier output. The sense amplifier has two feedback paths including a first feedback path having a transistor with a fast response time in order to allow the circuit to operate as fast as possible, and a second feedback path for providing voltage swing control. In the first operating mode, the "turbo" mode, both feedback paths are in operation to provide a higher margin of swing control, thus higher sensing speed. In the second operating mode, the "non-turbo" mode, only the first feedback path is in operation which allows for greater stability and a reduction in power consumption.
