Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for providing data from a buffer are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include an array, a buffer, and a memory control unit. The buffer may be coupled to the array and configured to store data. The memory control unit may be coupled to the array and the buffer. The memory control unit may be configured to cause the buffer to store the data responsive, at least in part, to a first write command and may further be configured to cause the buffer to store the data in the array responsive, at least in part, to a flush command. The memory control unit may further be configured to interrupt the flush command to prepare for a read command or a second write command and resume the flush command once the read command or the second write command is performed.
