Abstract:
An interleaved memory is readable in a sequential access synchronous mode and in a random access asynchronous mode based upon externally generated command signals including an address latch enabling signal and a chip enable signal. The memory includes a circuit for regenerating the externally generated address latch enabling signal. A first and a second internal replica signal are generated by the circuit. The second internal replica signal has a leading edge that is delayed with respect to a leading edge of the first internal replica signal. A duration of the second internal replica signal is conditionally incremented to prevent non-synchronization between the externally generated address latch enabling signal and the externally generated chip enable signal when the interleaved memory is operating in the sequential access synchronous mode or in the random access asynchronous mode.
