Abstract

A first clock is received by a memory macro. In response to a first clock transition of the first clock, a first transition of a second clock and of a third clock is generated. A tracking transition of a tracking signal is caused by the second clock. Based on a later transition of a second clock transition of the first clock and the tracking transition of the tracking signal, a second transition of the third clock is generated. The third clock is for use by an input-output of the memory macro.
