摘要： A memory (20) includes a write control delay locked loop (52) for controlling a write cycle of the memory (20). The delay locked loop (52) includes an arbiter circuit (264), a voltage controlled delay (VCD) circuit (260), and a VCD control circuit (265). The arbiter circuit (264) compares a clock signal to a delayed clock signal from the VCD circuit (260). In response, the arbiter circuit (264) provides a retard signal to the VCD control circuit (265). The VCD control circuit (265) receives the retard signal and adjusts a propagation delay of the delayed clock signal to compensate for changes in the clock frequency, as well as to compensate for process, temperature, and power supply variations.

摘要： A pipelined memory (20) has a synchronous operating mode and an asynchronous operating mode. The memory (20) includes output registers (34) and output enable registers (48) which are used to electrically switch between the asynchronous operating mode and the synchronous operating mode. In addition, in the synchronous operating mode, the depth of pipelining can be changed between a three stage pipeline and a two stage pipeline. By changing the depth of pipelining, the memory (20) can operate using a greater range of clock frequencies. In addition, the operating frequency can be changed to facilitate testing and debugging of the memory (20).

摘要： A layout portion (20) has a first portion (25), and a second portion (55). In the first portion (25), a reference voltage line (27) is disposed between two V.sub.DD power supply lines (26, 30) for a first predetermined length, for providing capacitive coupling between V.sub.DD and a reference voltage. In the second portion (55), the reference voltage line (27) is disposed between two V.sub.SS power supply lines (28, 41) for a second predetermined length, for providing capacitive coupling between V.sub.SS and the reference voltage. The capacitive coupling stabilizes the reference voltage with respect to the power supply voltage, and reduces power supply noise due to lead inductance and changing current demand. In addition, the power supply lines (26, 28, 30, 41) are disposed half above an N-type region (22) and half above a P-type substrate (21) for reducing local transistor switching noise.

摘要： A latching ECL to CMOS input buffer (20) has an input buffer (21) for receiving an ECL input signal, a CMOS latch (35), and driver circuits (55, 65). Transmission gates (31, 32) are used to couple the input buffer (21) to the latch (35) in response to a CMOS clock signal being a logic low. The driver circuits (55, 65) are coupled to transmission gates (31, 32). While the clock signal is a logic low, input nodes of the first and second driver circuits (55, 65) are precharged to a relatively high voltage in order to isolate the input signal from the first and second driver circuits (55, 65). The latch (35) both latches the logic state of the ECL input signal and converts the ECL input signal to CMOS logic levels. This allows an input signal to be latched and level converted within a relatively short period of time.

摘要： A bit line load (380) is coupled to a bit line pair and includes bipolar pull up transistors (389, 403), P-channel load transistors (390, 404), a NAND logic gate (395), and a P-channel equalization transistor.

摘要： A power-on reset circuit (30) for a memory (20) includes a DC model circuit (39), an N.sub.BIAS check circuit (64), and a NAND logic gate (71). A logic low power-on reset signal is provided at power-up of the memory (20) to establish initial conditions in a clock circuit (29) and in row and column predecoders/latches (24, 27). When the power supply voltage, a bandgap reference voltage, and a bias voltage all reach their predetermined voltages, the power-on reset circuit (30) provides a logic high power-on reset signal. In this manner, the power-on reset circuit (30) is assured of providing a logic low power-on reset signal until all of the proper voltage levels are reached. In addition, the power-on reset circuit models a DC circuit equivalent of an address buffer circuit (79) for compensating for process and temperature variations.

摘要： A memory has an array of memory cells, column logic, a write driver, a voltage detector, and a bootstrap circuit. The array of memory cells is coupled to pairs of bit lines and word lines. The column logic is coupled to the array and is for coupling a selected pair of bit lines to a pair of data lines. The write driver is coupled to the pair of data lines. The voltage detector provides an initiate boost signal when a voltage of a first data line of the pair of data lines drops below a first level during the writing of the pair of data lines by the write driver. The bootstrap circuit reduces the voltage of the first data line in response to the boost enable signal. This is particularly beneficial when the number of memory cells on a bit line can vary significantly as in a compiler.
