Abstract
A memory device having a sense trigger coupled to receive an address when available, and to assert a sense trigger signal to the sense trigger when the sense trigger receives the address. The memory device also has an N-nary, or 1-of-N, input logic gate that provides additional assurance that no more than one word line is asserted when an address is decoded. The memory device also has an N-nary, or 1-of-N, output driver logic gate that provides an output signal directly useful for providing to another (N-nary) 1-of-N logic gate.
