    Abstract: A method of controlling a memory device can include: (i) receiving a first read command for a critical byte, where the critical byte resides in a first group of a memory array on the memory device; (ii) reading the critical byte from the memory array in response to the first read command, and providing the critical byte; (iii) reading a next byte in the first group; (iv) outputting the next byte from the first group when a clock pulse; (v) repeating the reading the next byte and the outputting the next byte for each byte in the first group; (vi) reading a first byte in a second group of the memory array, where the second group is sequential to the first group, and where each group is allocated to a cache line; and (vii) outputting the first byte from the second group when a clock pulse is received.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a memory device can include: determining, by the memory device, a time duration in which the memory device is in a standby mode; automatically switching the memory device from the standby mode to a power down mode in response to the time duration exceeding a predetermined duration; exiting from the power down mode in response to signaling from a host device via an interface; and toggling a data strobe when data is ready to be output from the memory device in response to a read command from the host device.

    Abstract: A method of controlling a read request can include: receiving, in a host device, the read request from a bus master, where the host device is coupled to a memory device by an interface; determining a configuration state of the read request; comparing an attribute of the read request against a predetermined attribute stored in the host device; adjusting the configuration state of the read request when the attribute of the read request matches the predetermined attribute; and sending the read request with the adjusted configuration state from the host device to the memory device via the interface.
