POWER-GATED MEMORY DEVICE WITH POWER STATE INDICATION

摘要

A memory device comprises one or more power gates and state signaling circuitry. Each of the one or more power gates is configurable such that a respective portion of the memory device is powered down. The state signaling circuitry is operative to produce a power state output signal indicative of when the one or more power gates are configured such that the memory device is fully powered up.
