摘要： A method and apparatus for providing single clock cycle pipelined access of a memory system, which combines synchronization and self resetting techniques, includes an array of memory cells that are arranged into columns and rows and intercoupled by bit lines and word lines. The memory system also includes an address decoder and a sense enable circuit. The address decoder, upon receiving an address, interprets the address to enable a particular word line, or word lines, and to disable precharging of a bit line, or bit lines. With the word line active, the sense enable circuit generates a sense enable signal when the clock signal has encountered a transitional edge, or is in an active state. When the sense enable signal is active, the sense amplifier reads the data from the addressed memory cell via the bit lines to produce output data.

摘要： A logic filtered address transition detection circuit that receives a chip select signal and an ATD pulse, and which produces an internal clock pulse using:an AND gate, a filtered input terminal, a delay unit and a comparator unit. The AND gate outputs an AND logic signal after processing the chip select signal and ATD pulse, the filtered input terminal and delay unit both receive the AND logic signal from the AND gate; and send their signals to the comparator unit. The comparator unit performs a logic function on the AND logic signal and a delayed AND logic signal to produce the internal clock signal.

摘要： An apparatus comprises a buffer comprising a plurality of entries, an insert pointer, a delete pointer, a plurality of first control circuits coupled to the buffer, and a second control circuit coupled to the buffer. The entries are logically divided into a plurality of groups. Each of the first control circuits corresponds to a respective group and selects an entry from the respective group for potential reading from the buffer. Furthermore, each of the first control circuits, in the event that the delete pointer indicates a first entry in the respective group and the insert pointer wraps around the buffer and indicates a second entry in the respective group, selects the first entry if the first entry is eligible for selection. The second control circuit selects a first group, and the entry selected from the first group by the first control circuits is the entry read from the buffer.

摘要： A memory circuit is provided which has a select and a deselect mode. The memory circuit, as part of its technique for quickly accessing data, includes circuitry for generating a pulse in response to detecting an address transition. When the memory circuit switches from the deselect mode to select mode, there appears to be an address transition even when there is not an address transition. In order to prevent a delay associated with interpreting such a false transition as an actual transition, local clock pulse generators are used which only detect high to low transitions in the chip select mode.

摘要： A fused, redundancy selection circuit is disclosed which is disabled by the absence of a chip select signal. The circuit has the feature of avoiding the use of nodes with a floating potential and in this manner it provides an enhanced radiation hardened characteristic. The circuit is effectively disabled if no redundancy is required on a particular memory chip, by leaving fuses which are a part of the circuit, intact. Alternately, if the memory chip is tested to have defects, the redundancy circuit is selectively enabled to provide the desired redundancy for the chip, by blowing fuses which are a part of the circuit. Thereafter, the redundancy circuit is now an active part of the memory chip and it is selectively enabled when the chip select signal is applied to the chip. An advantageous feature of the circuit is that it does not dissipate power when its function is not required either because its enabling fuses have not been blown or alternately when the chip select signal is off. In this manner, a zero standby power, radiation hardened memory redundancy circuit has been provided.

摘要： An apparatus comprises a buffer comprising a plurality of entries, a plurality of age vectors, and a control circuit coupled to the buffer. Each of the age vectors corresponds to one or more of the entries. Responsive to data being provided to the buffer to be written to at least a first entry, the control circuit is configured to generate a first age vector. The first age vector corresponds to the first entry, and is indicative of which of the plurality of entries contain data that is older than the data being written to the first entry. The control circuit is configured to select an entry for reading responsive to the plurality of age vectors. The selected entry has an attribute used to select the selected entry, and other entries indicated as storing older data in the age vector corresponding to the selected entry do not have the attribute.
