This invention improves cache operation by dynamically extending one state of a clock signal supplied to a cache on operation cycles when a cache fill operation will occur. The dynamic extension of the clock signal includes delaying the clock signal, forming a waveform toggling between states upon each predetermined state transition of the delayed clock signal, selecting the clock signal when this waveform has a first stage, and selecting the delayed clock signal when this waveform has a second state. Dynamic extension is prevented during a test mode. An apparatus of this invention uses a flip-flop and a multiplexer to produce the dynamically delayed clock.
