Abstract
A memory circuit includes a memory array comprising a plurality of memory cells arranged over a plurality of word lines and along a bit line, and a controller operatively coupled to the memory array and comprising an RC detector. The RC detector is configured to advance a timing for a first tracking signal to fall, subsequently to a second tracking signal transitioning to rise and prior to a third tracking signal transitioning to rise. The first tracking signal is conducted through a first tracking line, the second tracking signal is provided to conduct through a second tracking line, and the third tracking signal is conducted through the second tracking line.
