POWER MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18583066 titled 'POWER MANAGEMENT

The memory device described in the patent application includes registers that store expected peak current magnitudes for multiple memory devices. A controller determines whether to initiate the next phase of an access operation based on the expected peak current magnitudes and current demand budgets.

  • Registers store expected peak current magnitudes for memory devices.
  • Controller decides on initiating the next phase of an access operation based on current demand budgets.
  • Operating modes and current demand budgets influence the decision-making process.
  • The controller compares expected peak current magnitudes to determine the next phase of the access operation.
  • The memory device optimizes current usage based on the expected peak current magnitudes stored in registers.

Original Abstract Submitted

A memory device might include registers configured to store expected peak current magnitudes corresponding to a plurality of memory devices containing the memory device, and a controller configured to cause the memory device to determine whether to initiate a next phase of an access operation in response to at least a first sum of an expected peak current magnitude for the next phase of the access operation in a selected operating mode and the expected peak current magnitudes of each of the registers other than a respective register of the memory device relative to a first current demand budget, and a second sum of the expected peak current magnitude for the next phase of the access operation in the selected operating mode and the expected peak current magnitudes of each of the registers other than a respective register of the memory device relative to a second, lower, current demand budget.
