1. A method for pulling down the word line voltage when a word is to be deaddressed in a memory of the kind having a plurality of words, with each word associated with a top word line and a bottom word line, said method comprising, detecting a signal that the address of a word is to be changed, amplifying the detected signal, steering a pull-down current to the bottom word line to commence pulling the word down in response to the amplified signal, maintaining that pull-down current on the bottom word line until the word is deaddressed, detecting the fact that the word has been pulled down, and steering the pull-down current away from the bottom pull-down line after the word has been deaddressed by detecting and amplifying the voltage of one of the word lines.

The method defined in claim 1 including a current source for supplying the pull-down current and wherein the steering includes connecting the current source either to the bottom word line or to the positive supply voltage so that no static pull-down current is pulled out of any word driver.
