Abstract

An enable control circuit and a semiconductor memory are provided. The enable control circuit includes: a counting circuit, configured to: count past clock cycles, and determine a clock cycle count value; a selection circuit, configured to determine a target clock cycle count value according to a first config signal; and a control circuit, connected to the counting circuit and the selection circuit, and configured to: control an On Die Termination (ODT) path to be in an enabled state responsive to a level state of an ODT pin signal being inverted, and start the counting circuit; and control the ODT path to switch from the enabled state to a disabled state when the clock cycle count value reaches the target clock cycle count value.
