MEMORY SYSTEM FOR REDUCING CURRENT CONSUMPTION AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A memory system includes: a high-voltage-supply booster circuit for driving an access control circuit from a low voltage for memory access to a high voltage for memory access by supplying electric charge that is stored in advance to an access control circuit in response to an access start request for a memory cell array; and a low-voltage-supply booster circuit for absorbing excess electric charge when the access control circuit is switched from the high voltage to the low voltage in response to an access end request for the memory cell array.
