Abstract

Apparatuses and methods related to adjusting a delay of a command signal path are disclosed. An example apparatus includes: a command input buffer that receives command signals and further provides buffered command signals; a command decoder coupled to the command input buffer, that decodes the buffered command signals responsive to a first clock signal and further provides a decoded command signal; and a command extension circuit coupled to the command decoder, which receives the decoded command signal, the first clock signal and a second clock signal having a first delay relative to the first clock signal, and further provides a command extension signal having a pulse width longer than the pulse width of the decoded command signal.
