发明名称 Shared tracking circuit
摘要 A system comprises a plurality of first memory macros and a first tracking circuit to be shared by the plurality of first memory macros. The first tracking circuit includes at least one of a first tracking circuit associated with a row of memory cells of a first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros, a first tracking circuit associated with a column of memory cells of the first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros, a first decoder tracking circuit associated with decoding circuitries of the first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros, and a first input-output tracking circuit associated with input-output circuitries of the first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros.
