Abstract
Clock pads are distributed over an integrated circuit memory device and electrically connected to a lead frame to synchronously provide an external clock signal to the clock pads. Accordingly, an internal clock signal is generated throughout the integrated circuit memory device by distributing an external clock signal using a lead frame and pads. Internal circuitry for generating and synchronizing an internal clock from an external clock is thereby not required. When the integrated circuit memory device includes multiple memory array banks, the clock pads may be located in a row of input/output pads adjacent a memory array bank or between pairs of memory array banks.
