MEMORY CONTROLLER ADJUSTING POWER, MEMORY SYSTEM INCLUDING SAME, AND OPERATING METHOD FOR MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17839388 titled 'MEMORY CONTROLLER ADJUSTING POWER, MEMORY SYSTEM INCLUDING SAME, AND OPERATING METHOD FOR MEMORY SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an operating method for a memory system that includes a host and a memory system. The method involves communication of power information between the host and the memory system, and controlling power consumption by a component of the memory system based on a maximum consumption power value.

  • The memory system communicates maximum power information to the host.
  • The host communicates power table information and battery information to the memory system.
  • The memory system controls power consumption by a component based on a maximum consumption power value.
  • The power table information and battery information are related to a battery associated with the memory system and operate in accordance with battery steps.
  • The power table information includes multiple entries, including a first entry and a second entry.
  • The first entry is associated with a first battery step and a first maximum consumption power value.
  • The second entry is associated with a second battery step and a second maximum consumption power value.
  • The maximum consumption power value used to control power consumption is either the first maximum consumption power value or the second maximum consumption power value.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various memory systems, such as computer systems, mobile devices, and embedded systems.
  • It can be used to optimize power consumption and extend battery life in these systems.

Problems Solved

  • The operating method addresses the problem of excessive power consumption in memory systems.
  • It allows for efficient power management based on the available battery capacity.

Benefits

  • The method enables better control and management of power consumption in memory systems.
  • It helps to prolong battery life and improve overall system performance.
  • By adjusting power consumption based on battery capacity, it optimizes the use of available power resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

An operating method for a memory system including a host and a memory system. The operating method may include; communicating maximum power information from the memory system to the host, communicating power table information and battery information from the host to the memory system in response to the maximum power information, and controlling power consumption by a component of the memory system in response to a maximum consumption power value, wherein each of the power table information and the battery information is related to a battery associated with the memory system and operating in accordance with battery steps, the power table information includes a number of entries including a first entry and a second entry, the first entry is related to a first battery step among the battery steps and associated with a first maximum consumption power value, the second entry is related to a second battery step among the battery steps and associated with a second maximum consumption power value, and the maximum consumption power value controlling power consumption by the component of the memory system is one of the first maximum consumption power value and the second maximum consumption power value.
