Application No. 08/674,282
Similarly, claim 25, 26, and 28-32 specify in pertinent part
the following limitations:
a plurality of local column read amplifiers
corresponding to said plurality of sense amplifiers;
first and second data read lines,
...
each said local column read amplifier being
connected to said first and second data read lines,
each said local column read amplifier including
a plurality of read amplifier transistors, at least
one of said plurality of read amplifier transistors
having a control electrode responsively coupled to
one of said internal nodes of said latch ....
Also similarly, claim 33 and 34 specify in pertinent part the
following limitations:
first and second data read lines;
a local column read amplifier corresponding to
said sense amplifier latch circuit, said local
column read amplifier including a plurality of read
amplifier transistors, said local column read
amplifier being connected to said first and second
data read lines, at least one of the plurality of
read amplifier transistors in the local column read
amplifier being responsively coupled to an internal
node of said latch circuit ....
Further similarly, claim 35-39 specify in pertinent part the
following limitations:
a local column read amplifier and a pair of data
read lines coupled thereto,
said read amplifier including means responsively
coupled to at least one of said latch nodes for
developing a differential signal on said pair of
data read lines, said differential signal being
