An integrated circuit memory device includes a first set of pins and a
memory core. The first set of pins receive, using a clock signal, a write
command and a read command. Control information is issued internally in
response to the write command after a predetermined delay time transpires
following receipt of the write command, the control information
initiating the write operation in the memory device. A second set of pins
output the read data after a first delay time transpires from when the
read command is received. Each pin of the second set of pins outputs two
bits of read data during a clock cycle of the clock signal. The second
set of pins also receive write data after a second delay time has
transpired from when the write command is received. The second delay time
is based on the first delay time.
