ABSTRACT:
There is provided an input buffer circuit that, in one embodiment, includes an input buffer adapted to draw an operating current, a first buffer enabling circuitry operatively coupled to the input buffer and adapted to provide a first portion of the operating current to the input buffer, and second buffer enabling circuitry operatively coupled to the input buffer and adapted to provide a second portion of the operating current to the input buffer if the input buffer is expecting data, the second buffer enabling circuitry being adapted to be activated by a bias signal that is produced from an enable signal and a CLOCK signal.
