ABSTRACT:
The present invention allows for the reduction in power consumption of memory devices. A memory device in one embodiment prohibits address signal propagation on internal address buses based upon a function being performed by the memory. As such, some, all or none of the externally provided address signals are allowed to transition past address buffer circuitry.
