Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods related to power domain boundary protection in memory. A number of embodiments can include using a voltage detector to monitor a floating power supply voltage used to power a number of logic components while a memory device operates in a reduced power mode, and responsive to the voltage detector detecting that the floating power supply voltage reaches a threshold value while the memory device is in the reduced power mode, providing a control signal to protection logic to prevent a floating output signal driven from one or more of the logic components from being provided across a power domain boundary to one or more of a different number of logic components.
