Abstract
Disclosed herein are related to reducing power consumption of a memory device when transitioning from a sleep state to an operational state. In one aspect, the memory device includes a memory cell to store data. In one aspect, the memory device includes an output driver configured to: generate an output signal indicating the stored data, in response to a sleep tracking signal indicating that the memory cell is in the operational state, and generate the output signal having a predetermined voltage irrespective of the stored data, in response to the sleep tracking signal indicating that the memory cell is in the sleep state. In one aspect, the sleep tracking signal is delayed from a sleep control signal causing the memory cell to operate in the sleep state or the operational state.
