A decoding circuit for non-binary groups of memory line drivers is disclosed. In one embodiment, an integrated circuit is disclosed comprising a binary decoder and circuitry operative to perform a non-binary arithmetic operation, wherein a result of the non-binary arithmetic operation is provided as input to the binary decoder. In another embodiment, an integrated circuit is disclosed comprising a memory array comprising a plurality of array lines, a non-integral-power-of-two number of array line driver circuits, and control circuitry configured to select one of the array line driver circuits. The control circuitry can comprise a binary decoder and a pre-decoder portion that performs a non-binary arithmetic operation. The concepts described herein may be used alone or in combination.
