Abstract
The apparatus provided includes a memory. The memory is configured to receive a memory clock. The apparatus also includes a single stage logic gate configured to generate the memory clock from a reference clock. The memory clock is a gated clock. Additionally, the memory clock has a wider pulse width than the reference clock. In an example, the single stage logic gate comprises a pull-up circuit configured to pull-up the memory clock, and a pull-down circuit coupled to pull-down the memory clock. In an example, the pull-up and the pull-down circuits are configured to be controlled by the reference clock, a delayed reference clock, and a gating signal. An example further includes a delay circuit configured to generate the delayed reference clock from the reference clock. An example further includes a latch configured to generate the gating signal.
