Abstract

A memory device includes a command interface configured to receive write commands from a host device. Additionally, the memory device includes an input buffer configured to buffer a strobe signal from the host device. Furthermore, the memory device includes a first ripple counter and a second ripple counter. The memory device includes command handling circuitry configured to alternatingly start the first ripple counter and the second ripple counter in response to consecutive write commands. The command handling circuitry and/or the first and second ripple counters are configured to suppress a reset of the input buffer if either the first ripple counter or the second ripple counter has not reached a threshold and is still counting.
