First Claim
Patent Images
1. An operating method for a semiconductor memory having a well region, comprising steps of:
- receiving a plurality of address codes; and
activating a well boost process to boost the well region when a currently received address code is different from a last received address code, otherwise maintaining a voltage of the well region.

Abstract
A power saving method for a semiconductor memory is provided. The power saving method for a semiconductor memory including the steps of receiving a plurality of address codes, each of which has a first part code and a second part code; and activating a first boost process when the first part code of a currently received address code is different from the first part code of a last received address code, otherwise a second boost process is activated.
