Apparatuses and methods for providing active and inactive clock signals to a command path circuit

摘要

Apparatuses and methods for providing active and inactive clock signals to a command path circuit are described. An example method includes providing an active clock signal to a command path for a first portion of a command cycle for a command of back-to-back commands. The command path decodes the command and provides an output command signal responsive to the clock signal. The method further includes providing an inactive clock signal to the command path for a second portion of the command cycle for the command of the back-to-back commands.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a command path circuit configured to receive a command, and further configured to decode the command to provide an output command responsive to a clock signal; a command path clock circuit configured to provide the clock signal to the command path circuit; and a command path control circuit configured to control the command path clock circuit to provide an inactive clock signal to the command path circuit for a portion of a command cycle of the command and to provide an active clock signal for another portion of the command cycle, wherein the clock signal is a command clock signal, and the command path clock circuit is further configured to provide a command interface clock signal to the command path circuit.
