Abstract
An arbitration control circuit in a pseudo-static random access memory (PSRAM) device includes a set-reset latch circuit receiving a normal access request signal and a refresh access request signal as first and second input signals and generating a first output signal having zero or more signal transitions in response to the order the first input signal and the second input signal is asserted. The arbitration control circuit further includes a unidirectional delay circuit applying a unidirectional delay to the first output signal and a D-flip-flop circuit latching the first output signal as data in response to the delayed signal as clock. The D-flip-flop generates a second output signal having a first logical state indicative of granting the normal access request and a second logical state indicative of granting the refresh access request to the memory cells of the PSRAM device.
