Abstract
An apparatus or method may include provision of a command to a data block. An example apparatus includes a command circuit configured to provide a command signal in an internal clock time domain based at least in part on a memory access command received in an external clock time domain. The example apparatus further includes a command path delay configured to delay the command signal. The example apparatus further includes a data strobe generator circuit configured to receive the command signal and a data strobe signal. A plurality of clock edges of the data strobe signal correspond to received data bits associated with the memory access command. The data strobe generator circuit is configured to control input circuitry to capture the data associated with the memory access command based at least in part on the data strobe signal and the command signal.
