Abstract

A pulse generation circuit of a memory comprises a first logic operation unit for performing a logical operation on an address transition detection pulse and a delayed address transition detection pulse to produce first and second pulses, a switching unit controlled by an externally applied write enable signal for selecting one of the first and second pulses as an output pulse and for inverting the write enable signal, and a second logic operation unit for performing a logical operation on the output pulse and the inverted write enable signal from the switching unit to generate a word line enable signal and a sense amplifying enable signal.
