Abstract
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.
