Abstract:
A method of synchronizing the start of sequential read cycles when reading data in a memory in a synchronous mode with sequential access uses the increment pulses as synchronization signals for the address counters of the memory cell array. Following each increment pulse, a dummy ATD pulse is generated. The dummy ATD pulse is undistinguishable from an ATD pulse generated upon detection of a switching of external address lines.
