Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure relate to systems and methods to reduce power consumption in an integrated circuit (IC) device by controlling various power consuming components of the IC device to a sleep mode when the power consuming components are not in use. The reduction in power consumption by the various power consuming components may reduce power consumption of the IC device in general. In one example, the IC device may include power consuming buffers of data input paths, data output paths, address pin paths, and a clock output path. The IC device may instruct one or more of the power consuming buffers to enter a sleep mode when functions of the one or more power consuming buffers are not in use. In this manner, the IC device may save power while performing various operations (e.g., read/write operations and memory refresh operations).
