Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for signal line buffer timing control are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a plurality of signal lines including first and second control lines and further including data lines, and further includes first and second signal line buffers. The first signal line buffer includes first driver circuits configured to drive respective data signals on the data lines and to drive first and second control signals on the first and second control lines, respectively. The second signal line buffer includes second driver circuits configured to be activated to receive the data signals. The first and second control signals arrive at the second signal line buffer at different times. The second driver circuits are activated responsive a later one of active first and second control signals and are deactivated responsive to an earlier one of inactive first and second control signals.
