A computer memory includes a primary self-timing signal path defined by a model wordline signal path and a model bitline signal pair path. The primary self-timing signal path is defined to generate and transmit a model bitline signal pair. The computer memory also includes a control block defined to receive the model bitline signal pair from the primary self-timing signal path. The control block is defined to sense when a distinctive differential exists between the signals of the model bitline signal pair. The control block is further defined to generate and transmit a sense enable signal to a memory core upon sensing the distinctive differential between the signals of the model bitline signal pair.
