Abstract

Apparatuses and methods related to adjusting a minimum forward path delay of a signal path are disclosed. One such signal path includes a signal path having a minimum forward path delay, wherein the signal path is configured to adjust the minimum forward path delay based at least in part on a selected latency and a propagation delay of the minimum forward path delay. An example method includes reducing a forward path delay of a command path by at least one clock cycle of a clock signal to provide a command according to a selected latency responsive to a count value representative of a minimum forward path delay of the command path being greater than a maximum count value for the selected latency.
