Abstract
A method and circuit for implementing faster-cycle-time and lower-energy write operations for Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A first RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address strobe) command delay (tRCD) is provided to the SDRAM for a read operation. A second delay tRCD is provided for a write operation that is substantially shorter than the first delay tRCD for the read operation.
