A transient voltage collapse circuit provides a reference voltage for an SRAM (static random access memory). The SRAM receives a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage higher than the first reference voltage. The transient voltage collapse circuit provides the first reference voltage to the SRAM via a voltage supply line. The transient voltage collapse circuit maintains the voltage supply line at a first voltage level during a power save mode of the SRAM. The transient voltage collapse circuit increases the voltage of the voltage supply line during a write operation of the SRAM. The increase in the voltage of the supply line reduces the gap between first reference voltage and the second reference voltage, thereby assisting with the write operation of the SRAM.
