    摘要: A memory system supports high-performance and low-power modes. The memory system includes a memory core and a core interface. The memory core employs core supply voltages that remain the same in both modes. Supply voltages and signaling rates for the core interface may be scaled down to save power. Level shifters between the memory core and core interface level shift signals as needed to accommodate the signaling voltages used by the core interface in the different modes.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory has logically identical circuits for providing the same logical control signals. Each set of control signals can have different electrical parameters. One circuit can be optimized for high speed performance, while another circuit can be optimized for low power consumption. The logically identical circuits can include wordline address predecoder circuits, where a high speed predecoder circuit is enabled during a normal operating mode and a slower low power predecoder circuit is enabled for self-refresh operations. During self-refresh operations, the high speed circuit can be decoupled from the power supply to minimize its current leakage.
