Integrated circuit and method of detecting a signal edge transition

A method of producing an output signal at an output node of an edge transition detector in response to an input signal received at an input node thereof, the method comprising:

• applying said received input signal to a logic device;
• applying the output of said logic device to a control terminal of a switch coupled to said output node;
• enabling said switch to conduct by said logic device in response to said input signal, thereby causing said output signal to make a transition from a first logic level to a second logic level in response to said input signal;
• and
• disabling said switch to conduct with a feedback path from said output node to a second input of said logic device when said output signal completes said transition from said first logic level to said second logic level.

A digital memory device comprising:

• an array of memory cells;
• a decoder coupled to said array of memory cells;
• a control circuit coupled to said decoder to provide a control signal at a control node of said decoder that enables said decoder, said control circuit comprising:
• a switch coupled to said control node of said decoder;
• a logic device with a first input coupled to a control signal node and an output coupled to a control terminal of said switch to enable said switch to conduct, thereby to effect a transition of said control signal from a first logic level to a second logic level in response to a signal at said control signal node;
• and
• a feedback path from said control node to a second input of said logic device, wherein said feedback path disables conductivity of said switch when said control signal completes said transition from said first logic level to said second logic level.
