A sense amplifier circuit includes a differential input circuit which receives first and second data inputs, din1 and din2, and generates, in response to a first control signal PHI 1 being active LOW, a differential voltage across first and second nodes, which is indicative of a voltage difference between the first and second data inputs, din1 and din2; a pull-up circuit which connects, in response to a second control signal PHI 2 being active LOW, a high voltage reference Vdd to both the first and second nodes; a latching circuit which generates and latches, in response to voltages provided on the first and second nodes by the differential input and pull-up circuits, first and second latched data outputs; and an equalization circuit which equalizes, in response to a third control signal PHI 0 being active LOW, voltages on data lines respectively connected to the first and second data outputs. Timing of the first and second control signals, PHI 1 and PHI 2, is such that the second control signal PHI 2 is activated LOW after a finite period following the initial activation of the first control signal PHI 1. The third control signal PHI 0 is preferably activated LOW when the first and second control signals, PHI 1 and PHI 2, are inactive HIGH.
