Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for receiving and decoding address information applied to a synchronous semiconductor memory device. Separate read address and write address decoders and latches are provided for decoding the address without waiting for a determination as to whether a read cycle or a write cycle is undertaken, thereby reducing the decoding delay and thereby increasing the speed of such a device in operation.
