Abstract
A memory macro includes a first input terminal, a first memory cell array, a second memory cell array, a first input output (IO) circuit, a second IO circuit, a first set of driver circuits, a second set of driver circuits and a logic circuit. The first set of driver circuits are coupled to the first memory cell array and the first IO circuit. The second set of driver circuits are coupled to the second memory cell array and the second IO circuit. The logic circuit has a first terminal coupled to the first input terminal and configured to receive a first signal. The logic circuit is coupled to the first set of driver circuits and the second set of driver circuits. The logic circuit is configured to generate at least a second signal responsive to the first signal causing a change in the operational mode of the memory macro.
