Abstract: Memories containing command decoder, chip enable, and signal truncation circuits are disclosed. One such command decoder circuit may include command decoder logic configured to receive command signals and output a decoded command to an interconnect bus responsive to a chip select signal having an active state. Decoder circuits may also prevent coupling commands to the interconnect bus based on the receipt of chip select signals having inactive states.
