Abstract
Memory devices, memory systems, and systems, include memory devices with a bonding pad region including two or more bonding pads for operably coupling to external signals and two or more command-and-address (CA) input signals. The memory device also includes a memory cell region for storing information in a plurality of memory cells. A centralized CA interface region including two or more CA input circuits operably coupled to the two or more CA input signals. The centralized CA interface region is positioned between the bonding pad region and the memory cell region in a layout arrangement with the two or more CA input circuits neighboring each other in a compact region such that clock routing to the two or more CA input circuits is substantially reduced.
