Abstract
The disclosure provides an improved pre-decoding scheme that uses pre-decoders with multiple decoders that generate clocked pre-decoded signals, which reduces address set-up time and hold. The ordering of the address bits processed by the multiple decoders is also arranged to advantageously allow sharing logic gates of the multiple decoders, sharing of nodes of the logic gates, or sharing a combination of both. In one example, a memory circuit is disclosed that includes: (1) an array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, and (2) an address decoder for decoding a binary address to assert wordlines associated with the rows, wherein the address decoder has (2A) a row decoder for asserting one of the wordlines based on clocked-pre-decode signals, and (2B) a pre-decoder having multiple decoders that generate the clocked pre-decode signals from the binary address and provide the clocked pre-decode signals to the row decoder for the asserting.
