Abstract

A tracking circuit in a memory macro includes a data line, a first tracking cell, and a plurality of transistors. The first tracking cell is electrically coupled to the data line. The plurality of transistors is electrically coupled to the data line. The plurality of transistors is configured to cause a delay on a transition of a signal of the data line based on a delay current. The signal of the data line is configured for use in generating a signal of a control line of a memory cell of the memory macro.
