  • Low power operation for flash memory system
    Patent number: 9672930
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit and method for low power operation in a flash memory system. In disclosed embodiments of a selection-decoding circuit path, pull-up and pull-down circuits are used to save values at certain output nodes during a power save or shut down modes, which allows the main power source to be shut down while still maintaining the values.
