Abstract
Methods of operating integrated circuit devices include logically combining an output signal indicating whether an operation is being performed with the logic level of a command signal line to generate a command signal to control circuitry of the integrated circuit device having the logic level of the command signal line when the output signal indicates that the operation is not being performed, and having a particular logic level when the output signal indicates that the operation is being performed. Integrated circuit devices include a command signal management circuit to provide a logic level of a particular command signal to control circuitry of the integrated circuit device when control signals indicate a desire to allow the particular command signal, and to provide a particular logic level to the control circuitry when the control signals indicate a desire to block the particular command signal.
