Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide improved address decoding techniques for memory. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated circuit includes an address register that receives a reset signal, a clock signal, and an address signal and provides a registered address signal. The registered address signal provides at least a true and a complement signal, with the true and complement signal set to approximately the same logical value upon assertion of the reset signal. An address pre-decoder, coupled to the address register, at least partially decodes the registered address signal to provide a pre-decoded output signal. A wordline driver, coupled to the address pre-decoder, receives a wordline enable signal and the pre-decoded output signal and provides a wordline signal based on the pre-decoded output signal upon assertion of the wordline enable signal.
