Abstract
The invention is a circuit and method for quickly driving non-selected wordlines to correct potentials. The invention drives the non-selected wordlines to low potentials through a driving device directly gated by a primary select predecode signal generated by decode circuitry. The driving device is electrically interposed between the wordline and a reference node. The invention provides low power operation, and provides reliable wordline selection for circuits having supply potentials less than 5 volts.
