  • Publication number: 20240371421
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided a memory circuit that provides multiple clock signals to a local clock driver. One of the clock signals may be faster than the other and, as a result, at least one transistor of the local clock driver may be turned on early to improve the delay of the rising edge, the falling edge, or both edges of the slower clock signal. The local clock driver may include a first transistor electrically connected to the NAND gate and a second transistor electrically connected to the NOR gate. As a result of the additional, faster clock signal, a reduction of the clock to word line time in the memory circuit can be achieved.
