Abstract
A memory device includes an array of memory modules, a global controller, and a local controller for each memory module in the array of memory modules being configured to deliver to the global controller an activity signal reflecting an activity of the respective memory module. The memory device includes a circuit configured to implement a NAND logic function based upon the activity signals and to output a control signal to the global controller based upon the NAND logic function.
