A method of operating a memory includes generating a first reference voltage and detecting an active mode of operation of the memory. Upon detection of the active mode, commencing the charging of a node to develop a second reference voltage having a desired value on the node. The word line drive voltage is generated using the first reference voltage while the node is charging the second reference voltage to the desired value. The word line drive voltage is generated using the second reference voltage once the second reference voltage on the node has been charged to the desired value. A standby mode of operation of the memory is detected, and upon detection of the standby mode, the charging of the node is terminated and the word line drive voltage is generated using the first reference voltage.
