    摘要: A block compiler system that allows a user to specify the total number of words and bits per word in a memory structure and to choose among alternative memory structures according to a user-selected criterion. In operation, the system varies the partitioning of memory address lines among column address lines and row address lines. Further, the system varies the internal memory structure according to a selected partitioning of memory address lines among column address lines and row address lines, and optimizes the memory structure based upon higher-level user-selected criteria.

    摘要: A method for producing an electrical circuit by determining the input-to-output timing of compiled circuit blocks includes steps of determining a signal delay of a component due to physical characteristics of the component. The physical characteristics include at least a capacitance based upon relative placement of the component during compilation of a circuit block. The method further includes steps of determining an input-to-output speed for a circuit block by combining delays due to physical characteristics through alternate paths of the circuit block, and producing a compiled circuit block having a plurality of components by placing the components in the circuit block based on the steps of determining.

    摘要: A method for compensating for bit line delays in semiconductor memories including the steps of developing a dummy word line signal representative of the delay of a word line of a semiconductor memory and controlling the sense amplifier of the semiconductor memory with a control signal derived, at least in part, from the dummy word line signal. Preferably, the dummy word line signal is delayed by a fixed delay or by delay produced by a proportionally loaded dummy bit line. A circuit embodying the method of the present invention includes a dummy word which produces a dummy word signal upon the activation of any word of the semiconductor memory and a delay coupling the dummy word signal to the clock input of the sense amplifier. The delay may be a fixed delay including a number of logic elements, or it may be developed by a proportionally loaded bit line which has a fraction of the load of an actual bit line of the semiconductor memory. In either embodiment, the sense amplifier is clocked soon after the bit lines of the semiconductor memory are ready for sensing.
