Low standby power with fast turn on method for non-volatile memory devices

A method comprising:

• detecting a standby operating condition of a non-volatile memory device;
• detecting that the non-volatile memory device is not in a wake-up mode;
• and
• reducing bias currents provided to drivers of the non-volatile memory device in response to detecting the standby operating condition, wherein reducing the bias currents reduces a switching frequency of an output of at least one of the drivers.

A system comprising:

• a non-volatile memory device comprising a plurality of drivers;
• and
• a standby control circuit coupled to the non-volatile memory device, the standby control circuit comprising:
• a standby detection circuit to detect that the non-volatile memory device is in a standby condition;
• and
• a bias control circuit coupled to the standby detection circuit to provide bias currents to the plurality of drivers of the non-volatile memory device in a standby mode in response to a determination that the non-volatile memory device is in a standby condition, wherein an output switching frequency of at least one of the plurality of drivers is adjustable responsive to a change in the bias current.
