An interfacing circuit for reducing current consumption includes a command
decoder, an operation controller, and a transmission controller. The
command decoder decodes input packet commands and generates corresponding
commands. The operation controller generates first through N-th operation
signals for performing operations corresponding to the commands in
response to a clock signal. The transmission controller transmits the
first through N-th operation signals as first through N-th control
signals in response to the clock signal. The transmission controller
comprises a reset signal generator which generates a reset signal for
interrupting the transmission of the first control signal when multiple
commands of the first through N-th commands are generated simultaneously,
wherein the commands would otherwise incorrectly operate the circuit
receiving the first through N-th control signals when the commands are
generated simultaneously. In this manner, the interfacing circuit offers
the advantage that excessive current does not flow to the memory device,
in the event that multiple commands are transmitted simultaneously.
