Abstract:
Examples described herein include command latency shifters which may include a plurality of registers arranged in a folded topology.

Claim (Index 8):
An apparatus comprising:\n a command decoder configured to receive a command and to output a decoded command; and a latency shifter comprising an input node, an output node and a plurality of flip-flops (FFs), the plurality of FFs being coupled in cascade to form a signal propagation path between the input node and the output node, the latency shifter being configured to receive the decoded command at the input node and propagate the decoded command through the signal propagation path to the output node; wherein the signal propagation path is folded in two to form a first propagation path and a second propagation path, the first propagation path comprising a plurality of first ones of the plurality of FFs, and the second propagation path comprising a plurality of second ones of the plurality of FFs; and wherein the decoded command is propagated from the input node through the first propagation path in a first direction and further propagated to the output node through the second propagation path in a second direction that is reverse to the first direction.
