Synchronous wired-or ack status for memory with variable write latency

A method of operating a memory device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the memory device and from a memory controller associated with the memory device, a write command to store data in a memory array of the memory device;
• generating, by the memory device, an acknowledgment status packet comprising acknowledgement information to indicate that the write command was successfully received by the memory device;
• and
• transmitting, by the memory device, a combined acknowledgment status packet to the memory controller over a shared acknowledgment link coupled between a single acknowledgment pin of the memory controller, the memory device, and at least one other memory device, wherein the combined acknowledgment status packet is formed from a logical combination of individual acknowledgment status packets corresponding to the memory device and the at least one other memory device, wherein each of the individual acknowledgment status packets comprises plurality of fields, wherein each of the individual acknowledgment status packets comprises acknowledgment information associated with a corresponding one of the memory device or the at least one other memory device and stored in a respective designated field of the plurality of fields, and wherein a remainder of the plurality of fields in each individual acknowledgment status packet besides the respective designated field comprise default values.
