发明名称 SELF-TIMED MEMORY HAVING COMMON TIMING CONTROL CIRCUIT AND METHOD THEREFOR
摘要 A memory comprises a memory array and a plurality of clock driver circuits for providing a plurality of clock driver signals for timing an access to the memory array. A timing control circuit is coupled to the plurality of clock driver circuits. The timing control circuit includes a latch that is coupled to each of the plurality of clock driver circuits. The latch is for storing a logic state representative of a logic state of each of the plurality of clock driver signals in response to a first predetermined edge of a clock signal. The timing control circuit removes complex logic gates from the clock critical timing paths. Also, circuit topology is simplified allowing improved critical timing performance. Also, all of the clock driver circuits share a common latch control to improve clock recovery synchronization and reduce a risk of initializing the clock timing circuit in the wrong logic state.
