A method and apparatus for reducing the power consumed by computers in signaling between integrated circuits (101). Circuitry (115) within an integrated circuit (101) assures that the integrated circuit only outputs valid data (111) thereby conserving the energy that would be otherwise wasted if the integrated circuit were required to output spurious data. The invention is particularly useful in semiconductor memories and other devices which utilize tri-state buffers (109). <IMAGE> |
