Original Abstract Submitted
a method of operating a memory device is provided. a clock signal is received. each clock cycle of the clock signal initiates a write operation or a read operation in a memory device. a power nap period is then determined. the power nap period is compared with a clock cycle period to determine that the power nap period is less than the clock cycle period of the clock signal. a header control signal is generated in response to determining that the power nap period is less than the clock cycle period. the header control signal turns off a header of a component of the memory device.
