Abstract
A wordline driver for a semiconductor memory array having a circuit for selecting and deselecting the first end of an addressed wordline and a circuit for deselecting the second end of the addressed wordline. The first and second ends of the addressed wordline are deselected at substantially the same time. The first end of the wordline is selected and deselected responsive to a strobe waveform and the second end of the wordline is deselected responsive to an RL Strobe waveform. The RL Strobe waveform is derived from a delayed strobe waveform.
