Abstract
A memory chip includes at least two memory blocks. In a method for controlling power supply for the memory blocks of the memory chip, each memory block receives a command for switching to standby mode. The commands are issued, for example by a processor, separately for each memory block in order to be able to individually place the memory block in standby mode.
