Abstract

The systems and methods provided herein identify a command acquisition mode from a plurality of command acquisition modes of a command interface of a memory device. A state of a chip select signal (CS) is identified. When the CS transitions to low from high, a first portion of a command address is captured in a first clock cycle after the CS transitions. When the command acquisition mode is in a first mode, a second portion of the command address is captured in a second clock cycle immediately after the first clock cycle. Otherwise, when the command acquisition mode is in a second mode, the second portion of the command address is captured in a third clock cycle immediately following the second clock signal. An internal command is fired, using the first portion of the command address and the second portion of the command address.
