APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR COMMAND DECODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752573 titled 'APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR COMMAND DECODING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a command decoder with multiple command paths.

  • Command signals from one command path can be sent to another command path through a node located between two latches.
  • The command decoder includes separate flip-flops for different command modes.
  • These separate flip-flops may be tristate flip-flops.
  • Instead of a multiplexer, the command decoder may use alternate logic circuits.


Original Abstract Submitted

In some examples, command decoders may have multiple command paths. In some examples, command signals from one command path may be provided to another command path from a node located between two latches of the command decoder, such as two latches of a flip-flop. In some examples, the command decoder may include separate flip-flops for different command modes. In some examples, the separate flip-flops may be tristate flip-flops. In some examples, the command decoder may include alternate logic circuits rather than a multiplexer.
