Abstract
Systems and methods for propagating control signals in memories are described. One implementation includes a plurality of logic gates and a latch coupled between a control signal input and a delay line. The latch may store the value of the control signal before the control signal floats, thereby reducing the risk of incorrect signal propagation. Furthermore, the implementation may also include a clamp signal that isolates the plurality of logic gates before the control signal floats and continues to isolate the plurality of logic gates until after the control signal returns to either a digital one or a digital zero. The clamp signal may reduce leakage by disconnecting transistors within the logic gates from their power supply.
