ABSTRACT:
A random access memory (RAM) having an array of memory cells the signal lines to which are activatable by corresponding current sources. The memory is divided into "pages", and control pulses are produced to turn on the current sources involved in activating the signal lines to any page of memory cells being accessed and to turn off the remainder. The control pulses are directed through a pipelined pair of registers, and a look-ahead logic circuit examines the two pipelined control pulses identified as the "present" and "next" pulses. This logic circuitry serves to turn on the current sources for the page of memory to be accessed during the next clock time, and to maintain in an on state the current sources for the page of memory presently being accessed.
