Abstract:
Described herein is a nonvolatile memory (10) comprising an input pin (2) receiving an external clock signal (CK EST ) supplied by a user; an input buffer (4) receiving the external clock signal (CK EST ) and supplying an intermediate clock signal (CK INT1 ) delayed with respect to the external clock signal (CK EST ); and a delay locked loop (12) receiving the intermediate clock signal (CK INT1 ) and supplying an internal clock signal (CK INT ) distributed within the nonvolatile memory (10) and substantially in phase with the external clock signal (CK EST ).
