Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for memory systems that support an efficient mode for reducing power consumption in a memory module while maintaining access to all contents of memory. In a first aspect, a method includes communicating, by a memory module, first data stored in a first plurality of banks to a host device through a first sub-channel in a first operating mode; communicating second data stored in the second plurality of banks to the host device through a second sub-channel in the first operating mode; receiving a command to enter a second operating mode; and communicating third data stored in the first plurality of banks and fourth data stored in the second plurality of banks to the host device through the first sub-channel in the second operating mode. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
