Control circuits for memory devices are described. The control circuits may be configured such that the duration of the pulses delivered to the sense amplifiers increases with increasing parasitic RC delays. That is, the larger the parasitic RC delay along a line connecting a drive circuit to the sense amplifiers, the larger the duration of the pulses delivered. In some embodiments, a feedback line may be inserted between the end of the output signal line and the drive circuit to route the control pulses back to the drive circuit. The drive circuit may be arranged such that the duration of the pulses with which the sense amplifiers are driven depends on the delay experienced along the feedback line. In this way, the longer the RC delay arising along the feedback line, the larger the durations of the pulses.
