Abstract
A method for driving a non-volatile memory system is disclosed. A standby detection circuit detects whether the nonvolatile memory system is in a standby condition. In response to determining that the non-volatile memory system is in a standby condition, a bias control circuit reduces bias currents provided to drivers of the non-volatile memory system in a standby mode. The non-volatile memory system is operated in the standby mode after the bias currents have been reduced, where an output signal indicating the standby mode is maintained until a read instruction is detected.
