Claim 10:
11. The decoding method according to claim 9, wherein, for each group of memory portions, the corresponding wordlines extend through the memory portions of the group starting from the corresponding shared pull-up stage, wherein each pull-down stage is coupled to a corresponding node of each wordline that extends through the group of memory portions, the nodes of each wordline coupled to the pull-down stages being arranged upstream of corresponding memory portions, wherein locally coupling each wordline selected to the node at the second reference potential comprises coupling to the node at the second reference potential, by the pull-down stages, the corresponding nodes of the wordline selected; and wherein locally decoupling each wordline deselected from the node at the second reference potential comprises decoupling, by the pull-down stages, the corresponding nodes of each wordline deselected.
