    Abstract: A memory device includes a command shifter which includes a latch array with latches coupled in series. After receiving a command the command passes through the latch array and a ready pulse is provided when the command exits the array. The latch array is divided into portions (e.g., rows) with each row receiving its own clock signal from a respective clock circuit. Each clock signal is toggling while the command is within that row of the latch array or about to enter that row. For example, when the command is within N latches of the end of the previous row of the latch array or when a setting and command signal indicates the command is about to initially enter the array in that row.
