    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a circuit for generating a pulse synchronization signal (ATD) in order to control the reading phase of memorycells in semiconductor integrated, electronic memory devices. The pulse signal (ATD) is generated upon sensing a change in logic state on at least one of a plurality of address input terminals (PAD) of the memory cells to also generate an equalization signal (EQLZ) for a sense amplifier. The logic state of said pulse signal (ATD) is re-acknowledged by a fed-back response having a predetermined delay and being generated upon reception of a corresponding signal to said equalization signal (EQLZ). To this aim, a re-acknowledge circuit portion (15) is provided which is input a corresponding signal to the equalization signal (EQLZ) and feedback connected to the output node (12) to drive the discharging of the node (12) with a predetermined delay from the reception of the input signal.
