Decoding blocks, memories, and methods for decoding pre-decoded address information are disclosed. One such decoding block includes a first latch and voltage shift circuit configured to receive first pre-decoded address information at first voltage levels and further configured to latch the first pre-decoded address information and shift the voltage levels of the same to second voltage levels. An address decoder includes a second latch and voltage shift circuit configured to receive second pre-decoded address information at the first voltage levels and latch and shift the voltage levels of the same to the second voltage levels. The address decoder is further configured to select control gates of the memory cells of the memory based at least in part on the first and second pre-decoded address information.
