ABSTRACT:
The decoded address signal is stored in the slave latch. The output of the slave latch is a column select signal. The slave latches are organized in a slave latch circuit which is connected as a counter. Each of the slave latches is treated as a register and four slave latches are combined to permit the sequential addresses selected to be in count up or count down as the slave latch circuit is clocked. In addition, a burst counter control circuit selectively controls the counter to produce a count in an interleaved mode or a count up mode. The least significant bit of the address is stored within the burst control circuit for indicating whether the count should be an up count or a down count when operating in the interleaved mode.
