Abstract
A circuit and method for generating a write enable pulse that is independent of the clock duty cycle and the clock frequency. The circuit includes a pulse generator for generating a pulse in response to a clock signal and a write enable signal generator for generating a write enable pulse. The pulse tracks the leading edge of the clock signal. A logic circuit is coupled to the pulse generator and the write enable signal generator to generate the write enable pulse by combining the pulse and the write enable signal.
