Abstract
A method and apparatus ensure equal address transition detection (ATD) pulse width for all address and chip enable transitions. Address buffer signals from one end of an integrated circuit are combined to form a first combined signal. Address buffer signals and a chip enable signal from a second end of the integrated circuit are combined to form a second combined signal. The two combined signals are logically combined to form a first edge of an ATD pulse. A feedback signal controls the second edge of the ATD pulse for all input signal transitions.
