Abstract
An address decoder that includes a plurality of predecoders configured to (i) receive and logically combine a clock signal and address signals and (ii) generate addresses and complementary addresses. At least one of the plurality of precoders includes a first logic gate configured to receive the clock signal and one of the address signals, and a second logic gate configured to receive the clock signal and an output of the first logic gate. The address decoder further includes a decoder configured to generate a decoder output based on the addresses and complementary addresses.
