摘要:
A clock generator includes a first input end and a second input end. The first input end is capable of receiving a first clock signal including a first state transition and a second state transition defining a first pulse width. The second input end is capable of receiving a second clock signal having a third state transition. A time period ranges from the first state transition to the third state transition. The clock generator can compare the first pulse width and the time period. The clock generator can output a third clock signal having a second pulse width ranging from a fourth state transition to a fifth state transition. The fifth state transition of the third clock signal is capable of being triggered by the second state transition of the first clock signal or the third state transition of the second clock signal depending on the comparison of the first pulse width and the time period.
摘要:
A first clock is received by a memory macro. In response to a first clock transition of the first clock, a first transition of a second clock and of a third clock is generated. A tracking transition of a tracking signal is caused by the second clock. Based on a later transition of a second clock transition of the first clock and the tracking transition of the tracking signal, a second transition of the third clock is generated. The third clock is for use by an input-output of the memory macro.

A control circuit includes a data driver, a charge circuit, and a first data line coupled with the data driver and the charge circuit. The charge circuit is configured to charge the first data line when the first data line is selected for accessing a memory cell corresponding to the first data line and to not charge the first data line when the first data line is not selected for accessing the memory cell. The data driver, based on a first control signal, is configured to transfer a signal on the first data line to an output of the data driver.
