==APPARATUS, MEMORY CONTROLLER, MEMORY DEVICE, MEMORY SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CLOCK SWITCHING AND LOW POWER CONSUMPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18496693 titled 'APPARATUS, MEMORY CONTROLLER, MEMORY DEVICE, MEMORY SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CLOCK SWITCHING AND LOW POWER CONSUMPTION

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for reducing power consumption in a memory device by dynamically switching the frequency of clock signals based on the operation status of the memory device.

* Memory controller changes the frequency of clock signal when memory device performs an internal operation.
* Frequency of clock signal is switched to a low frequency when memory device is busy, indicated by a status signal.
* Frequency of clock signal is switched to a high frequency when memory device is ready, indicated by the status signal.

== Potential Applications ==
* Mobile devices
* IoT devices
* Embedded systems

== Problems Solved ==
* High power consumption in memory devices
* Efficient use of power in memory operations

== Benefits ==
* Reduced power consumption
* Improved energy efficiency
* Extended battery life for portable devices


==Original Abstract Submitted==

In an apparatus, a memory controller, a memory device, and a method for switching frequencies of clock signals to reduce power consumption, when the memory device performs an internal operation according to a command of the memory controller, a frequency of a clock signal of the memory controller is changed. The memory controller switches the frequency of the clock signal to a low frequency according to assertion of a status signal that indicates a busy operation status of the memory device according to the command, and switches the frequency of the clock signal to a high frequency according to de-assertion of the status signal that indicates a ready operation status of the memory device.
