Abstract
A system includes a memory device and a memory controller operatively connected to the memory device via a physical layer interface (PHY). The PHY includes an active first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer configured to receive commands from the memory controller. The PHY also includes one or more on-demand FIFO buffers configured to be selectively enabled by the active first-in-first-out buffer to handle a data payload. The system ensures efficient power usage by gating clocks and clock distribution to the one or more on-demand FIFO buffers.
