LOW POWER MANAGEMENT FOR SLEEP MODE OPERATION OF A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240312494 titled 'LOW POWER MANAGEMENT FOR SLEEP MODE OPERATION OF A MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method to reduce power consumption in a memory sub-system by putting a standby circuit associated with a memory device into a low power mode. In this mode, a reference voltage is supplied to a voltage regulator, which then provides a lower standby current level to the memory device compared to when it is in an active mode.

Original Abstract Submitted
in a memory sub-system, causing a standby circuit associated with a memory device to enter into a low power mode. in the low power mode, causing a reference voltage to be supplied to a voltage regulator, wherein the reference voltage causes the voltage regulator to supply a standby current level to the memory device, where the standby current level is lower than a current level supplied when the memory device is in an active mode.
