Abstract
A method and circuit for termination of internal cycle and its associated tracking circuits in high performance self timed compiler memories is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of timing the precharging of BLs in a self timed compiler memory array includes initiating an internal clock during the start of a read/write cycle by a control block, triggering DWL and WLs to go high upon initiating the internal clock by the control block, triggering DBL and BLs to go low upon the DWL and WLs going high by the control block, generating a reset BL signal upon the DWL going high and the DBL going low by the tracking circuit, disabling the DBL from going further low upon receiving the reset BL signal by the tracking circuit, and precharging the DBL to go high upon receiving the reset BL signal by the precharge circuit.
