Power savings apparatus and method for wireless network devices

A wireless network device having active and inactive modes, comprising:

• a clock generating module that generates a first clock signal having a first clock rate;
• a voltage supply module that generates a first voltage level and a second voltage level that is less than said first voltage level;
• a first digital module that receives said first clock rate and said first voltage level during said active mode, that receives said second voltage level during said inactive mode and that does not receive said first clock signal during said inactive mode;
• and
• a first analog module that communicates with said voltage supply module and that has reduced current consumption during said inactive mode,
• wherein the wireless network device is a wireless network communication device.
