Abstract
In one arrangement, a memory device () can include a number of banks (-to-) and corresponding counters (-to-). In response to a corresponding active access signal, each counter (-to-) can generate a bank available indication (BAto BA-) that may be initially inactive, and remain inactive during an initial count operation. Once a counter (-to-) reaches a predetermined limit, the corresponding bank available indication (BAto BA-) can be activated. A count limit can correspond to a minimum active-to-active timing parameter (T). An output circuitcan provide output data BA_DATA representative of bank available indications (BAto BA-).
