A system comprises a controller device, an integrated circuit buffer device and a first and second memory device. A first plurality of signal lines is coupled to the controller device. A second plurality of signal lines is coupled to the first memory device and the integrated circuit buffer device. The second plurality of signal lines carries first address information from the integrated circuit buffer device to the first memory device. A third plurality of signal lines is coupled to the first memory device and the integrated circuit buffer device. The third plurality of signal lines carries first control information from the integrated circuit buffer device to the first memory device. A first signal line is coupled to the first memory device and the integrated circuit buffer device. The first signal line carries a first signal from the integrated circuit buffer device to the first memory device. The first signal synchronizes communication of the first control information from the integrated circuit buffer device to the first memory device.
