Abstract
A memory circuit which is adapted to identify memory cells within a first time interval for a write operation of the circuit and identify the memory cells within a second time interval for a read operation of the circuit is provided. In some cases, the memory circuit may include an address path which includes a different circuit path for the read operations than for the write operations of the circuit. In addition, the memory circuit may include a means for intentionally delaying the identification of the memory cells for the write operation of the circuit. In some cases, the memory circuit may further include a means for intentionally delaying the identification of memory cells for the read operation of the circuit. Alternatively, the memory circuit may be absent a means for intentionally delaying the identification of memory cells for the read operation of the circuit.
