Abstract
Command paths, apparatuses, memories, and methods for providing an internal command to a data path are disclosed. In an example method, a command is received and propagated through a command path to provide an internal command. Further included in the method is determining a difference between a latency value and a path delay difference, the path delay difference representing a modeled path delay difference between the command path and the data path measured in terms of a number of clock periods. The propagation of the command through the command path to the data path is delayed by a delay based at least in part on the difference between the latency value and the path delay difference. The internal command is provided to the data path responsive to an internal clock signal.
