Power consumption in an integrated circuit memory is reduced by lowering
the power supply demand from an on-chip pumped VCCP power source. Only
the row decoders for subarrays in a memory bank that were previously
activated are precharged in response to a bank precharge command.
Additional circuitry is provided to the precharge clock generator
circuit. The additional circuitry includes a latch that is set when an
array select signal is asserted, and reset when a precharge operation for
that bank occurs.
