Term has much broader definition edit
This article has a very narrow focus (semiconductor memory chips), while the term sense amplifier has a much broader definition. In the context of computer memory, the term has been used since the 1950s. I added two citations to make this point, but much more could be said. I did a quick Google patent search and was overwhelmed by pre 1960 uses of the term. Notably, sense amplifiers were also used with magnetic logic, so they are not just a memory technology. Someone needs to dig into this.
