Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for operating a memory array are described. A memory controller may be configured to provide enhanced bandwidth on a command/address (C/A) bus, which may have a relatively low pin count, through use of a next partition command that may repeat an array command from a current partition at a different partition indicated by the next partition command. Such a next partition command may use fewer clock cycles than a command that includes a complete instruction and memory location information.
