Abstract
A word line supply voltage generator is selectively activated and deactivated to allow internal memory operations that are sensitive to variations on word line voltages to be performed with a stable word line voltage. Techniques for deactivating and reactivating the voltage generator are also disclosed that enable more rapid recovery from deactivation such that subsequent operations can be commenced sooner.
