ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling an internal booster power source in an integrated circuit memory device including a plurality of voltage booster active kickers includes the steps of activating a first predetermined number of the voltage booster active kickers during a first voltage boost operation for the integrated circuit memory device, and activating a second predetermined number of the voltage booster active kickers during a second voltage boost operation for the integrated circuit memory device. In particular, the second predetermined number is greater than the first predetermined number. Furthermore, the plurality of voltage booster active kickers can include four booster active kickers and the first predetermined number can be two and the second predetermined number can be four. Related memory devices are also discussed.
