SCHEDULED INTERRUPTS FOR PEAK POWER MANAGEMENT TOKEN RING COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18229249 titled 'SCHEDULED INTERRUPTS FOR PEAK POWER MANAGEMENT TOKEN RING COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The memory die described in the patent application includes a memory array and control logic that receives a peak power management (PPM) token during a current PPM cycle. Based on a set of communication frequencies, the control logic determines whether to communicate auxiliary data to at least one other memory die during the current PPM cycle. If it decides to communicate the auxiliary data, a selected type of auxiliary data is sent to the other memory die based on the communication frequencies.

• Memory die includes memory array and control logic
• Receives PPM token during current PPM cycle
• Determines whether to communicate auxiliary data to other memory die based on communication frequencies
• Selected type of auxiliary data is sent to other memory die based on communication frequencies

Original Abstract Submitted

A memory die includes a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform operations including receiving a peak power management (PPM) token during a current PPM cycle, in response to receiving the PPM token, determining, based on a set of communication frequencies, whether to communicate auxiliary data to at least one other memory die during the current PPM cycle, wherein each communication frequency of the set of communication frequencies indicates when a respective type of auxiliary data is eligible for communication during a PPM cycle, and in response to determining to communicate auxiliary data to the at least one other memory die, causing a selected type of auxiliary data to be communicated to the at least one other memory die, wherein the selected type of auxiliary data is determined from the set of communication frequencies in view of the current PPM cycle.
