Abstract
Among the embodiments of the present invention, is memory control circuitry ( ) that includes a detection circuit ( ) and a monostable multivibrator ( ). This detection circuit ( ) is responsive to a transition of a number of address inputs to generate a trigger signal. The monostable multivibrator ( ) is responsive to the trigger signal to change a memory control output signal from a first state to a second state. The monostable multivibrator ( ) is further responsive to a memory interlock input signal to change the memory control output signal from the second state to the first state. The memory control circuitry ( ) can be coupled to drive a clock input of a synchronous memory ( ) to provide for asynchronous operation thereof.
