ABSTRACT:
A row decoder that includes circuitry to provide a self-timed bootstrap signal. The self-timed bootstrap signal is generated in response to the selection of the row decoder. At the same time, a capacitive device is charged in order to bootstrap a word line. The self-timed bootstrap signal causes a clock generator circuit to output a clock signal that will be used to bootstrap the word line. The self-timed bootstrap signal may be generated by other row decoders. The generation of the self-timed bootstrap signal by a row decoder is responsive to any variations in that decoder, thus always providing an accurate and precise timing of the clock signal to be used for the bootstrapping.
