Abstract
A method and circuit for controlling an output reference voltage generated by a reference voltage generator disposed on a memory device are provided. A signal for enabling a clocked standby mode of the memory device is received. If the signal indicates that the memory device is in the clocked standby mode, a first reference voltage is generated as the output reference voltage of the reference voltage generator using a first voltage. If the signal indicates that the memory device is not in the clocked standby mode, a second reference voltage is generated as the output reference voltage of the reference voltage generator using a second voltage.
