Abstract
A device for timing random reading of a memory device with a data access time, in which reading is performed by a succession of consecutive operations, the timing device being designed to generate, for each operation, a corresponding timing signal such as to cause, whatever the operating condition of the memory device, the corresponding operation to last for a time equal to a respective fixed duration, which is determined so as to guarantee completion of the operation in the worst operating condition of the memory device within the fixed duration; the sum of the fixed durations being equal to the data access time of the memory device.
