1. A sense amplifier, comprising:
a first pair of cross-coupled transistors coupled to a first port and a second port of the sense amplifier;
a second pair of cross-coupled transistors coupled to the first port and the second port;
a first access transistor coupled between a first input line and the first port;
a second access transistor coupled between a second input line and the second port;
an enable transistor configured to enable or disable current through the first pair of cross-coupled transistors and the second pair of cross-coupled transistors; and
a delay circuit coupled between i) a gate electrode of the enable transistor and ii) a gate electrode of the first access transistor and a gate electrode of the second access transistor, the delay circuit configured to delay a time to disable the first access transistor and the second access transistor with respect to a time to enable the enable transistor,
wherein a first transistor of the first pair of cross-coupled transistors is directly coupled to the first input line, and
wherein a second transistor of the first pair of cross-coupled transistors is directly coupled to the second input line.
