“Control bus” refers to a communication bus used to exchange one or more of data, address information, control signals, clock signals, and the like, between two electronic circuits, components, chips, die, and/or systems. Typically, a control bus sends control signals to one or more memory die to manage operations on the memory die.
In certain embodiments, the control bus sends control signals such as write enable (“WE” or “WE#”), chip enable (“CE” or “CE#”), read enable (“RE” or “RE#”), a clock signal, strobe signal (“DQS”), command latch enable (“CLE”), address latch enable (“ALE”), storage operation commands in the form of operation codes (“OP” codes) and addressing information for a communicated storage operation. In certain embodiments, the control bus may not transfer data relating to a storage operation, such as write data or read data. Instead, write data and read data may be transferred over a data bus
