Abstract
A pulse generating circuit for use in a semiconductor memory device is triggered by a transition of an input logic signal, to provide an output pulse having a predetermined pulse width or period. Feedback from the output pulse is used to isolate the input signal once the output pulse has begun, so as to prevent premature truncation of the output pulse if the input signal changes state during the output pulse period. This pulse generator is particularly advantageous in high-speed semiconductor memory integrated circuits where the input pulse may be relatively brief.
