Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
before entering a second handshaking phase of the handshaking procedure of the memory device, the second handshaking phase posterior to the first handshaking phase, utilizing the PHY circuit to receive any second incoming data sent from the host device to determine whether the any second incoming data indicates that the host device is in a corresponding second handshaking phase, and prevent sending any outgoing data that is equal to second predetermined data of the second handshaking phase to the host device before detecting that the host device is in the corresponding second handshaking phase; and
in response to the any second incoming data indicating that the host device is in the corresponding second handshaking phase, utilizing the PHY circuit to send second outgoing data that is equal to the second predetermined data to the host device.
