Abstract
A power drain and noise reduction control circuit and method for a synchronous vector processor (SVP) device having a plurality of one-bit processor elements organized in a linear array. This control circuit substantially reduces the power drain by only powering up the portion of the circuit being written. Also noise which would otherwise be present on the data lines is reduced.
