Abstract
Memory cell arranged in a matrix configuration are selected by a particular word line to supply the stored data to particular bit lines. The row address decoder selects a particular word line based on the address signal, while the column address decoder selects particular bit lines based on the address signal. Each of the row address decoder and column address decoder contains a first decoder for decoding the address signal, a delay circuit for delaying the output from the first decoder when data is written into the memory cell, and a second decoder for receiving the output signals from the first decoder and delay circuit and based on these signals, selecting either a particular word line or particular bit lines.
