Abstract: An integrated circuit memory device includes a first set of pins and a memory core. The first set of pins receive, using a clock signal, a write command and a read command. Control information is issued internally in response to the write command after a predetermined delay time transpires following receipt of the write command, the control information initiating the write operation in the memory device. A second set of pins output the read data after a first delay time transpires from when the read command is received. Each pin of the second set of pins outputs two bits of read data during a clock cycle of the clock signal. The second set of pins also receive write data after a second delay time has transpired from when the write command is received. The second delay time is based on the first delay time.

The sense command specifies the sensing of a row of memory cells identified by the row address, and the write command specifies that the memory device receive write data and store the write data at a column location identified by the column address. The write command is posted internally to the memory device after a first delay has transpired from when the write command is received at the second set of pins.
