Method and device for timing random reading of a memory device
First Claim
1. A method for timing random reading of a memory device with a data access time, said reading being made up of a succession of consecutive operations, wherein each of said operations has, whatever the operating condition of said memory device, a fixed predetermined duration such as to guarantee completion of the operation within said fixed predetermined the worst operating condition of said memory device, the sum of the fixed predetermined durations of said operations being equal to said data access time of said memory device.

Abstract
A device for timing random reading of a memory device with a data access time, in which reading is performed by a succession of consecutive operations, the timing device being designed to generate, for each operation, a corresponding timing signal such as to cause, whatever the operating condition of the memory device, the corresponding operation to last for a time equal to a respective fixed duration, which is determined so as to guarantee completion of the operation in the worst operating condition of the memory device within the fixed duration; the sum of the fixed durations being equal to the data access time of the memory device.
