Reduced bitline leakage current

A method for reducing power in an SRAM is achieved by applying a first voltage to all bitlines of a section of the SRAM in standby operation and applying a second voltage to all the bitlines of a section of the SRAM in normal operation. The first voltage is not greater than the second voltage.
