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. |

1. A system comprising:
a plurality of first memory macros, each one of the plurality of first memory macros comprising a corresponding global control circuit configured to receive a common control signal; and a first tracking circuit configured to generate the common control signal to be shared by the plurality of first memory macros, wherein
the first tracking circuit includes at least one of
a first type tracking circuit associated with a row of memory cells of a first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros;a second type tracking circuit associated with a column of memory cells of the first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros;a decoder tracking circuit associated with decoding circuitry of the first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros; andan input-output tracking circuit associated with input-output circuitry of the first memory macro of the plurality of first memory macros. |
