Data strobe control device

Abstract

A data strobe control device is disclosed, which relates to a technology for controlling a data write path of a semiconductor memory device. The data strobe control device includes: a plus-mode controller configured to output a first control signal for controlling a first mode and a plus on-the-fly signal upon receiving a plus-mode signal and an on-the-fly signal; an on-the-fly controller configured to output a second control signal for controlling a second mode according to the on-the-fly signal and an operation signal; a path controller configured to latch an address in response to the second control signal during the second mode, latch the address in response to the first control signal during the first mode, and accordingly output an address latch signal; and a strobe pulse generator configured to output a strobe control signal synchronized with a control clock signal in response to the address latch signal and a burst length signal.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
