Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
before entering a preceding handshaking phase of the handshaking procedure of the memory device, the preceding handshaking phase prior to the first handshaking phase, utilizing the PHY circuit to receive any preceding incoming data sent from the host device to determine whether the any preceding incoming data indicates that the host device is in a corresponding preceding handshaking phase, and prevent sending any outgoing data that is equal to preceding predetermined data of the preceding handshaking phase to the host device before detecting that the host device is in the corresponding preceding handshaking phase; and
in response to the any preceding incoming data indicating that the host device is in the corresponding preceding handshaking phase, utilizing the PHY circuit to send preceding outgoing data that is equal to the preceding predetermined data to the host device.
