Abstract
This document describes apparatuses and techniques for an efficient command protocol for memory access. In various aspects, a memory controller may implement combined operations of different command types (e.g., an activation command plus a read, an activation command plus a write, or an activation command plus a pre-charge command) to better utilize a multiple clock ratio of a command bus (e.g., a (1.5+0.5)N operation in a dual clocking WCK2CK ratio of 4:1), which may improve utilization of a data bus for associated memory responses. By so doing, the efficient command protocol may improve power efficiency and system level performance of a computing system.
