Abstract

A configurable decode circuit for decoding in a block architected SRAM. The configurable decode circuit comprising a decode circuit (10) which decodes through a process of deselection, a first buffer circuit (12) for buffering decode circuit (10), a delayed clock signal (15) for enabling first buffer circuit (12), a gated transmission means (13) for decoupling first buffer circuit from second buffer circuit (14), second buffer circuit (14) for driving capacitive loads, and a means for delaying driver output (16) for enabling gated transmission means (13). The decode circuit (10) is built for simplifying synthesis of the layout of a configurable decode circuit for varying configurations. The configurable decode optimizes performance by reducing the number of circuits in the critical delay path and minimizing capacitive loading on internal circuit nodes.
