Abstract

A circuit in dynamic random access memory devices includes a command extension circuit. The command extension circuit is configured to generate at least one multiple-cycle command signal by lengthening a single-cycle clock command signal from a command decoding circuit. Control logic extends and reduces the multiple-cycle command signal to provide additional functions such as burst length and burst chop. Additional control logic is configured to determine whether a clock signal is enabled in output control logic circuitry according to the multiple-cycle command and logic level generated in the output logic circuitry.
