Apparatuses and methods for adjusting a path delay of a command path

A method, comprising:

• determining a minimum command path delay and providing a count signal representing the minimum command path delay in number of clock cycles tCK;
• shifting a write command through a command path a number of clock cycles of the clock signal equal to a total latency less the number of clock cycle tCK of the minimum command path delay;
• and
• adding delay to a command path delay of a command path, wherein the delay is based on a phase difference between a feedback signal based the propagating write command and an internal memory clock signal.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a command path having a command path delay and configured to provide a command from an input to an output, the command path including an adjustable delay having a delay and configured to add delay to the command path delay, wherein the delay of the adjustable delay is based at least in part on a phase relationship between a feedback signal responsive to the command propagating through the command path and a clock signal;
• a clock path configured to receive a write clock signal and provide a data strobe signal;
• and
• a data path including data capture latches coupled to the clock path and configured to convert serial data to parallel data responsive to the data strobe signal.

A method, comprising;

• latching and decoding a write command;
• shifting the write command through a command path based at least in part on a latency;
• adding delay to a command path delay of the command path, wherein the delay is based on a phase difference between a feedback signal based on the shifting write command and an internal memory clock signal;
• and
• providing the decoded command through a command tree.
