Abstract
A data memory includes a plurality of memory cells that are selectively operable during a memory read operation to generate a data signal indicative of data stored in that memory cell, and one or more sense amplifiers are connected to receive data signals from a plurality of the memory cells. An address decoder is responsive to a memory address supplied to the data memory for controlling one of said plurality of memory cells connected to each of the sense amplifiers to generate a respective data signal under the control of a first control signal. The data memory also includes circuitry for delaying the first control signal to generate a second control signal, and for energizing the one or more sense amplifiers for operation in response to the second control signal.
