A system and method of selective row energization based on write data, with a selective row energization system including a storage arrayhaving M rowsand N columns; an N-bit data word register; a uniform-detect circuitresponsive to a data word to generate a uniform word data bit having a first value when the data word is uniform; an M-bit uniform-detect registerhaving M uniform-detect latches, each being associated with one of the M rowsand storing the uniform word data bit for the data word stored in the associated M row; and an M-bit row driver deviceresponsive to the uniform word data bit for each of the M rowsto inhibit energization of the M rowsfor which the uniform word data bit is the first value.
