Claim 13:
14. A method for operating a serial data buffer integrated circuit device, the method comprising:
receiving, at a unidirectional serial host side input port of the serial data buffer integrated circuit, a host-side input packet for performing a memory operation;
generating, by command scheduling logic of the serial data buffer integrated circuit, an activate command for activating an address of a memory device associated with the memory operation of the host-side input packet;
transmitting, by a unidirectional serial memory side output port of the serial data buffer integrated circuit, the activate command to the memory device;
generating, by the command scheduling logic of the serial data buffer integrated circuit, a memory device command for performing the memory operation associated with the host-side input packet; and
transmitting, by the unidirectional serial memory side output port of the serial data buffer integrated circuit, the memory device command to the memory device at a schedule time following the activate command.
