Abstract
Systems and methods for injecting a toggling signal in a command pipeline configured to receive a multiple command types for the memory device. Toggling circuitry is configured to inject the toggling signal into at least a portion of the command pipeline when the memory device is in a power saving mode and the command pipeline is clear of valid commands. The toggling is blocked from causing writes by disabling a data strobe when a command that is invalid in the power saving mode is asserted during the power saving mode.
